I would greatly appreciate your prompt resolutin to the matter.
Is it right that "swift" would also be ok?

[redset]

Yeah 'swift' would work - it means 'fast' whereas 'prompt' means 'without delay/not late', so they both work here. Be careful with that preposition though, 'your prompt resolution of the matter' means you expect the person to actually resolve it themselves; 'your prompt resolution to the matter' sounds more like you're expecting them to come up with a plan (the resolution) to fix the problem, which somebody else might actually put into action.
