Hi Maria,
I hope you're well.
I'm just writing to say thanks for your help on the project last month. We really appreciate you stepping in to support us. I know you had to put in extra hours to catch up on your own work, so thank you very much.
Your expertise was vital for this project and we couldn't have finished it successfully without you. You really helped us and we hope to work with you again on future projects.
I'll be in touch again soon about possible future collaborations. I look forward to working with you more closely this year.
All the best,
Paco

Hi Alex,
I hope you are doing well.
I’m just writing to say thanks for your great help on the exam yesterday. I had been so busy playing games with my cousin, that’s why I didn’t have any leisure time for studying. If you hadn’t helped me that time, I would not have passed the exam. I know you didn’t answer the last question in order to teach me the solution of each question.
I very appreciate your assistance. If you need any help in the future, I will always be pleased to lend you a hand.
Your best friend,

At my work place, we usally help each other very often, we're just a few crew members, so we try to help one another in every possible way to get the job done in time
Recently, I've had some problems with my work. I worked hard to solve this problem. At the moment, I'm feeling frustrated. My colleague is very helpful and shows his expertise in resolving the problem.
