Portuguese term or phrase: Prestimosa e Estimável Colaboração
Hello everyone,

I am translating a letter rogatory that ends with:
Com os melhores cumprimentos pela vossa prestimosa e estimável colaboração.

Any suggestions how this could be translated into English?

Thank you in advance.

valued and esteemed cooperation
Explanation:
prestimosa and estimavel can both be translated as valued bit I feel esteemed as the best synonym in this context and also prefer cooperation to collaboration. I was inclined to vote 'agree' for Maria Jose's answer but thought I'd submit my two cents...

Explanation:
The other two answers suggested thus far sound somewhat stilted, even in formal written English. The phrase I suggest here is what one would more commonly see in such a context.

Boa sorte.
