Ukrainian - Russian Hello! When writing a letter I am tempted to say, "I hope everything goes well for you." Is it correct or I need to say, "I hope everything's going well for you."? Why? "Dear Anna, Thanks for your letter. How are you doing? I hope everything goes well for you." Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your reply, DonnyB. Could you make an example for me to better understand the future use of 'goes well for you'?

Maybe at the end of the letter where you've been writing about Anna's new job, or move to a new town or some change in her life, you could sign off with: "I hope all goes well for you". I
