Marketing - General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
French term or phrase: Espérant que vous accueillerez favorablement notre offre, nous vous prions d’agr
This phrase appears at the end of a marketing letter. Our translator put the phrase on two lines, like so:

Espérant que vous accueillerez favorablement notre offre,

nous vous prions d’agréer nos salutations distinguées.

Is this correct? Does it have to be on two lines, or should it be on one line?
