Hello.

I wrote a letter and at the end of it, I wanted to use this phrase "Keep doing what you do".

It is difficult to say without context. Structurally speaking, "keep doing what you're/you are doing" may be better.

Thank you, Mike. I had a similiar thought, but I wrote another :-D.

I can describe my letter: I wanted to give an appreciation to the one company. I described all advantages and disadvantages. But the basic sense was positive, therefore at the end of the letter I wanted to wish the company good luck.

OK. In that case, I would go with my revision. The original sounds too much like "continue to run your business".

A suitable ending in this situation might be 'Keep up the good work'.
