To look forward to

Hello,

As far as I know the correct use of 'to look forward to' is the following; I look forward to seeing her. I look forward to his gift.

But sometimes I come across statements like; I am looking forward to seeing her, I am looking forward to his gift, or
I'm looking forward to working with you.

Is it possible in everyday speech only?

Thanks

It is possible in both speech and written English. The progressive form expresses added interest; the simple present form can sometimes sound overly formal in letters.
