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

Hello XY,
I hope you are fine and doing very well,
I am just writing to say thanks for your constructive assistance in arranging the meeting among the stockholders. Your explanation and expertise were the results to convince the stockholders, and to resume the project's construction work again after five years of ceased. We could have gotten the final invoice without your involvement and help.
I hope we will work on more projects in the next calendar year and hope to through your expertise make the project quality greater, and meet all requirements of the client.
I will be in touch with you for any further advice regarding project quality and project financial processing.
Best Regards

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,
