It depends on the politics of your organisation, and the working relationship you have with your superiors. If you are on friendly terms, 'see you soon' is perfectly fine, in fact stuffiness in emails can come across as very out of place. However if it's someone a few grades above you, for example who you have never met, see you soon, wouldn't work well, it's too informal. "I look forward to meeting soon" would work well enough. | |
