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

Few days before I thanked my colleague through text messages. My colleague advised me to take admission for this English course . I was unsure of the correct path as there were too many choices. He recommended me to the British council to improve my English language skills.
When I felt any difficulty in any aspect of my English language learning skills, I contact him to help me. He feels happy to assist and encourage me all the time. God bless him. Therefore I am very thankful to my colleague.

I don't remember making a thank-you message to my colleagues or professors in college, I just always say thank you. I used to think that my colleagues had the obligation to help me just for work at the same company but it is always good to say thanks to build more healthy relations and get good help at any other moment.

Hi everybody,
Everyday I thanks my overseas colleagues to support me on paperwork in different areas.

I would say this, but I have not got help at work, yet. If I will get the favor of my colleague or professors, I would write also a thank-you-message.
