Auf Wiedersehen/Wiederhören * und viel Glück!

as the parties here probably do not know each other personally but the whole connection is based on correspondence, I would not necessarely go with "Wiedersehen" (see you again) but rather with "Wiederhören" (which you can interprete as "to hear from you again" as well as "to read from ...")

on a less formal note, you could also say \"Ade und viel Glück!\"

neutral Peter Gennet : "Wiederhören" is not appropriate to close a letter. And *Ade* is not typical for all german speaking regions.

... war des jetzt einfach nur ein "Dankeschön" an die Peers für frühere Hilfestellung, oder ist es als echte Übersetzungsfrage gemeint??

The tone of the English would indicate the need for a fairly informal rendering :)
