The main problem with the sentence is 당신에게 가까이 될 모든. 모든 바랍니다 is grammatically wrong because 모든(adj) cannot come before a verb(바랍니다). -에게 가까이 되다 is also not right. We say -에게 가까워지다 or -와/과 가까워지다 (되다 is used for becoming a thing(noun), not when you want to become some state or quality(adjective)). You can rewrite it as: 우리 모두는 앞으로 당신과 더 가까워지기를 바랍니다 [or 기대합니다]. - 우리 모두는 - subject phrase. - 앞으로 - adverb (similar to 미래에, but more natural. 미래에 sounds like in more distant future). - 당신과 더 가까워지기를 - object phrase for "hope" - "that we get closer to you". (당신과 가까워지다 = to become close to you => 당신과 가까워지기(noun phrase form) + 를(object marker)) - 바랍니다 or 기대합니다 - main verb. (바라다 = hope, 기대하다 = look forward to).

Hello, I'm a Korean tutor here on italki. I don't understand the meaning of the sentence, but 에게 means 'to'. So 당신에게 means 'to you' 가까이 is adverb and 가까운 is adjective. I hope this will help you (:
