Hi Andy

In BrE it should be:

"I look forward to hearing from you. ('back' not necessary as stated in my earlier post.)

You can also say "I'm looking forward to hearing from you."

I wonder whether " ... look forwards ... " is used in AmE, but I've a feeling it is also " ... forward ... "

I personally think both are fine.

I look forward to hearing ~~back~~ from you.

Hi guys,

Is forward ( as opposed to forwards) correct below:

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Many thanks!
