Look forward to or looking forward to

I am confused with the usage "look forward to..." and "looking forward to..."

I have been informed that the sentence below is correct -

"Looking forward to hearing from you soon."

But what if I say -

"Look forward to hearing from you soon."

" Neither one is acceptable because they show laziness in not bothering to write a complete sentence. These are OK: I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I look forward to hearing from you soon .

  • These are OK: I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
  • I look forward to hearing from you soon .
  • The first one is friendlier; the second one is more formal.
