agree  Roddy Tannahill: Yes - I like that one. Just the "sincerely" bit might become "faithfully", depending on how the letter is addressed.

In anticipation of your valued order


Explanation:
or

I look forward to your valued order

(agree with Mats that 'look forward' works well)

Where I disagree with the others is on the translation of the 'zeichne ich'. I feel this tends to be overtranslated and would not normally appear in a business letter in English. 'I remain, etc.' is very old-fashioned and barely, if ever, used these days ...
