The first implies I'm, the second implies I.
Both are fine in an informal context, although, from the viewpoint of style, too many -ing's tends to sound awkward, so I think most people prefer the second.

1) Looking forward to hearing from you. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

2) Look forward to hear

Hi Clive, phrase number 2 is more commonly used than number 1.
I agree 'I look forward to hearing from you' is more common.' I've referred to my letter writing books and found it to be so.
