Is It Correct to Say “Looking Forward to Your Call”?
It is correct to say “looking forward to your call.” It works well in formal emails because it shows you’re excited to talk to someone over the phone.
It’s professional when it refers to a phone call meeting. We recommend using it regardless of who the recipient is if you’re looking forward to having a chat with them.
When using “looking forward,” you must always use “to.” “To” is the correct preposition here, so do not try including anything else (such as “for”). For instance:
- Correct: Looking forward to your call.
- Incorrect: Looking forward for your call.
Also, you may come across both “look” and “looking.” You can change the verb form based on the pronoun usage. For example:
- I am looking forward to your call.
- I look forward to your call.
Using “am” requires the gerund form “looking.” Otherwise, just “I” on its own means you can use “look” in the infinitive form.
Here are some extensions you can also use to spice things up:
- I am looking forward to your call
- We are looking forward to your call
If you use “we are,” it implies you represent an organization. It’s a great way to sound more professional in an email.
Also, these variations are acceptable:
- Looking forward to the call
- Looking forward to our call
