Is it a good sentence: Hope you will take advantage of my services someday and will be satisfied. Shall I put "you" before "will"?

thanks

Can't I start with the word "hope? " I just think it's more informal, but correct.

thanks

Hi,

It's not a grammatical sentence, but it certainly is an example of the kind of informal English fragments that make up a lot of our conversation and our casual personal letter writing. Smile [:)]

Clive:

I have seen both future-simple usages and presnet-simple ones: hope that helps.

Can I say: «I hope you take advantage of my services someday»?

Or is it a somewhat different type of subordinate clause that requires the future simple tense?

Thanks in advance.
