Instead you could close with something that advances your cause, such as I look forward to speaking with you. There's no problem using some of the same words. You just want to move things forward. | |
| May 7, 2015 at 14:07 | comment | added | Alejandro Veltri | @TRomano The email contains information about and opening position so he's expecting me to reply. When replying him, my intention is also expecting him to reply, so I don't want to use the same words. Even if in this particular case it's not necessary to say it, but it could be, I want to know how to say it without sounding repetitive. If someone says to you "I look forward to talking with you. " is there any case when he/she doesn't imply that they are expecting my to reply?. | |
