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

Tips

  1. Start with a friendly comment:
    I hope you're well.
  2. It's usually best to use an informal style with colleagues:
    Hi Maria, …
    Thanks for your help.
  3. Keep it short.
  4. Mention the good work they did and the positive effect of it:
    Your expertise was vital for this project.
    We couldn't have finished it successfully without your help.
  5. End with a positive comment about future collaboration:
    I hope to work with you more closely in future.
    I look forward to working with you again.

I think the last time I said thanks to a colleague was in January this year. So in our division we were having a challenging time because our previous boss had quit, and I was in charge of the whole team. And I remember I asked for help from all my team members to keep the track we were having and most of all to achieve the commercial objective. 

 

Thanks to God and all the team I could give respond to almost all the cases we had, and to deal with any of the situations. We had a team reunion and I thanked all for their commitment and support.

It was in Ramadan. I had an accident in my Car, so I had to repair it. I contacted my Cousin because he is really expertise in Cars and how you deal with any issue you have. He was very helpful and we finished everything related to the accident and the Car came back very well. I am really thankful for him for giving me some of his time.

All the best, 

Nahar

The last time I thanked someone was my friend Jesus today. I couldn't complete an assignment because I didn't have internet access. My friend Jesus did part of the assignment for me and then helped me turn it in.

The last time I thanked a colleague was yesterday. I needed some help setting up a training session and I asked my colleague if my training plan was okay. Fortunately, my colleague was enthusiastic about it, so I was thrilled!
