hoping for your kind consideration

This phrase is correct.

This is a polite way to ask that someone thinks carefully about a request. It is sometimes used as a sign off for a letter or email that is making a request.


Some examples from our editors:

  • I am hoping for your kind consideration regarding my request for time off.
  • I have submitted my resume for employment with your company and am hoping for your kind consideration of my application.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • Thank you in advance for considering the matter.
  • I am hoping you will approve this request.

appreciate your kind consideration

This phrase is correct. Use the preferred form instead.

appreciate your kind consideration. "hoping" in this sense makes it seem like you don't trust the person to be kind or considerate, it's almost insulting.
