Is it good to hear from you? If so then why?

How is it to write “Good to hear from you”?

I have seen it many times but I feel like it should be “It feels good to hear from you” or

equivalent. I have seen it many times but I feel it should be “Create a Friendship.”

It is true.

Why were implied words in thank you?

What are some less formal suggestions about the way it (or a better suggestion) is aimed at the reader? If something doesn’t “feel” right, consider your audience and context before focusing on what is or wasn’t “correct”. Is sentiment just not what you want for the situation?

If someone ever said “It feels good to hear from you” to me, I would probably assume that one of us had terminal cancer. I find that a formal office is both overly formal and intimate at the same time. But in practice does that make it so intimate? I’d aim more for “It was good hearing from you” or something a tad closer to casual.
