Looking for an alternative to "I hope that...", "I'm hopeful that..." and all the similar expressions [closed]

I trust that you will ...

Trust is a good alternative as it either:

  • places the imperative on the person being addressed (I hope you will answer my question vs I trust you will answer my question), or
  • indicates a level of respect for the person being addressed. (I hope you will be able to suggest an alternative vs I trust you will be able to suggest an alternative)

I always find: "Looking forward to... All good things, Yours, Greg." Quite simple & one can vary it all sorts of ways. Here is hoping that helps ! Ouch...
