Spanish term or phrase: Deseándoles muchos éxitos en sus actividades profesionales.
It's a letter to the Immigration Department.

It starts like this:

Estimados Señores
Inmigración Nueva Zelanda
Presente.-

**Deseándoles muchos éxitos en sus actividades profesionales**. Sírvase la presente carta para hacer de su
conocimiento mi intención de aplicar a un visado de estudiante para realizar estudios de Maestría en
Administración de Empresas en AIS.


Can anyone help me with this sentence?

thank you!

Dear Sirs:
Explanation:
You will be doing everyone a favor by ignoring the proposed salutation, which will sound just as odd in English. It is quite OK to use the accepted forms in the target language rather than translating those of the source.

agree  David Hollywood: I fully agree but don't think it merits qualification as non-pro as there is lateral thinking involved here and Pat got it so... and the colon is a moot point ...

  -> Thanks Phil. Yes, also polite.

agree  Sheila Wilson: Any translation into English is going to sound distinctly odd. AmEng = colon, I believe; BrEng = comma

  -> Thank you Sheila. You are quite right about the colon/comma.

agree  neilmac: Yes, comma not colon :-) And PRO query. Knowing these little details is what sets professionals apart IMHO:)
