I've received an e-mail of a colleague that I meet once. He wrote as introduction, "I hope you're doing well" and then he continued directly with the matter of the mail.
I would like to use some kind of similar introduction, but it cannot really be very personal, as we don't know each other so well (I thought about using "I'm glad to hear from you"… but probably he will not believe it 🙂 )
The recipient of my mail is a colleague and we have never worked together, but now we will work in the same project. He is an Englishman and he is extremely correct.
Thanks!

If you wish to reply formally, you could start your letter with 'Thank you for your good wishes' and since your concern is to reply with a similar introduction, I would add: 'Thank you for your good wishes, and I too am looking forward to collaborating on our group project'
