be looking forward to or look forward to
I'm wirting to a foreign friend who is coming back to Japan in two years.
Then I first wrote
1) I'm looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo in about two years.
Then, I wonder if I can use "be-ing form" with the period of two years.
Should I say 2) instead of 1)?
2) I look forward to seeing you in Tokyo in about two years.
I've heard that the difference between 1) and 2) is just the level of formality.
2) sounds more formal than 1).
Is that so??
Thank you!
