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 roshan,
I'm just writing to say thank you for being a very comfortable roommate for me. Every day, you make sure that I'm okay. You have been a very good brother and not just a roommate for the past 5 years. It is not easy to maintain good terms with the same roommate who annoys you so much.
As a roommate, I didn't participate in any cooking, cleaning, or washing for most of the time, but you took care of the house with love. You are the best brother who has amazing qualities.
I'm by your side at any stage of your life. I'd like to see from a great height. I'm sure you'll..

Hi David,
Is everything going well these days?
I'm just writing to say thanks for your help with last semester. Without your help, I'm 100 percent sure I would have failed the exam. All of your study materials saved me. I really appreciate your help and kindness,men.
Let's meet and hang out before the new semester starts.
Just phone me when you are available.
I know you are busy with a part-time job. All the expenses and treats are on me.
Waiting for your phone call.

When was the last time you thanked a colleague for something?
three months ago, I encountered a problem in my program and as much as I searched or tried to solve it, It didn't work. because I believe that When something is hard, It means I don't understand the base of the problem well. As a result, I stopped struggling and sent a message to my colleague and explained my question. He answered me right off the bat!! God knows, How many hours I would have to spend to solve it. If I didn't get help. I really appreciated him for his help so fast! Fortunately, I was at the right place and at the right time.
