Accepted Answer

"look forward to" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. GRAMMAR: Must be followed by a noun or gerund (-ing form), NOT an infinitive. 'I look forward to seeing you' (correct), NOT 'I look forward to see you'. Very common in formal email sign-offs: 'I look forward to hearing from you.'
