looking forward
Excited about future
Looking forward describes anticipation of something expected or hoped for, almost always followed by "to": I'm looking forward to the weekend, She's looking forward to meeting you.
The phrase expresses eager expectation rather than mere awareness of future events.
In correspondence, looking forward to hearing from you is a standard closing that signals both politeness and genuine interest.
