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.

Hi Mr. Ibrahim
I hope you’re well.
I’m just writing to say thank you for helping me during working in your hospital working as interpreter and studying at the university at the same time was very hard for me but you gave me a permission to go to the university while working, and you had given me a lot of advice that helped me in several issues.
Now after graduation I’m sure I wouldn’t do that if you hadn’t helped me.
Your role was vital for me, so thank you and be sure if you need anything I’m ready to help because I own you a lot.
I’ll be in tach again soon about asking you if you’re ok.
All the best.
Mohammad

Hi Myat,
Thank you so much for lending me some money. I was really needed it when I ask you to borrow me some money. It was the time when my favorite perfume is on sale and I did not have enough money on my account.
Now I got the perfume on my hand and want to thank you again.
I really love the smell.
Let's eat out next Sunday. The food is on me.
See you my buddy.
