Spanish term or phrase: Some greeting formulae
Need feedback on standard English greeting formulae for the following:

- Contamos con su valiosa colaboración

Thanks!

- Que el nuevo año que comienza pronto esté lleno de éxitos para todos ustedes = May the New Year to begin be full of success for all of you.

/nos traiga alegria y felicidad a todos = bring joy and happiness for all of us

llegue lleno de gracias y bendiciones para ustedes = be full of graces and blessings for you.

- Contamos con su valiosa colaboración = We count on your valuable cooperation

Hope this helps! :)

"(We hope) that the upcoming New Year...


Explanation:
...be one of success for everyone / that it brings joy and happiness / that it comes with plenty of gifts* and blessings for everyone". "We count on your valuable collaboration ("contribution" if talking about donations)". *You may like "Grace" better if you want a more religious significance. That's my version. I can hear the ding-dong bells already...happy upcoming new year!! :))

"Wishing you success and happiness in the New Year" "We look forward to working with you.


Explanation:
This is what I would say in English. These Spanish formulas, which sound fine in Spanish, tend to sound rather overblown in English if translated too literally, since English has a much more straightforward style.
