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.

Please let me know anytime you need my help, ideas, or anything else. I also hope to work with you more closely. I’ll be in touch again very soon about our project together.

All the best,

Good day to everyone

The last time I thanked a coworker was very recently, my job is quite demanding and it is always a multiplier to have additional help.

Thank you very much.

Hi Maria,

Hope you are well.

I´m just writing to say thank you for participating in the preparation to our online seminar last week.

The program you made for us stating the order of participants with subject and introductions to all of them, were really useful during the digital seminar. We could all see our tasks and see each others tasks and this was very useful. I know you had to work extra hours to get your own work done, so thank you again for all of your help.

I look forward to work with you again.

 

Best regards,

May
