Not at all! That phrase is actually a polite warning. It shows you know you are interrupting the flow, but you have something urgent or exciting to say. It softens the abruptness! 💬

No, that is strictly for spoken English or real-time texting! In an email, the person reads it on their own time, so you aren't "holding them up." Better to use "I look forward to hearing from you." 📧
