Look forward to is a phrasal verb which means to anticipate something with pleasure. If you think about it, the sense here is of looking ahead, at something in the future.
The use of it in the title is a typical way to close a business email, similar to "I look forward to hearing from you." We use this in business all the time, and it's a good one to have ready when you're writing emails.
But we also look forward to things like holidays, celebrations, times with friends and family, romantic moments. We look forward to seeing people we haven't seen for a while.
The idea is that when we think of the thing which is going to happen, we feel happy.
We can also use the negative, as in "I have a dentist appointment and I'm not looking forward to it!"
Living in the present is great! But it's nice to look forward to things too.
So, what are you looking forward to?
