Top 10 ways to say “thank you” in an

English email

When we’re sending emails, it’s easy to be too direct. This can upset the
reader or cause offense. Saying “thank you” is a great way to make your
email more polite and personal. What’s the best way to do it, though? Find
out our top ten ways to say “thank you” in an English email.

The first five of our ways to show your thanks work best at the beginning of
the email. Thanking your reader is a wonderful way of opening an email. It
sets the right tone and makes the reader feel appreciated, which is very
important if you want them to help you again in the future.

10. Thank you for contacting us

If someone writes to enquire about your company’s services, begin your
email with this sentence. Show your appreciation for their interest in working
with your company. This is also a useful way to introduce the main topic of
your email when used with the prepositions “about” or “regarding”. For
example, “Thank you for contacting us regarding our current products and
prices.”

9. Thank you for your prompt reply

When a client or colleague replies to a previous email in a short amount of
time, let them know and thank them. If the reply wasn’t quick, simply
removing “prompt” will work, or, you can opt for, “Thank you for getting back
to me.”

8. Thank you for the information

If you have asked someone for information, and they took the time to send it
to you, use this sentence to demonstrate that you value what they’ve done.
Again, you can use “about” or “regarding” to refer to the specific information

7. Thank you for all your assistance

If someone has gone out of their way to help you, thank them! If you want to
offer more specific recognition for what they have done, follow this sentence
with, “I really appreciate your help in resolving the problem.”

6. Thank you for raising your concerns

Even if a client or manager writes to express some concerns they have
regarding your work, you can still thank them. This shows that you value
their input and will take their concerns seriously. Alternatively, you may wish
to use, “Thank you for your feedback.”

While thank yous at the beginning of an email are typically written to thank
the reader for past actions, thank-yous at the end of an email tend to imply
you are thanking the reader for future action. By showing your appreciation
in advance, you are more likely to get a positive reaction.

 in advance, you are more likely to get a positive reaction.

5. Thank you for your kind cooperation

If you need the reader to cooperate by assisting you with something, then
thank them in advance for their cooperation. You can add the expression “in
advance” to this sentence and say “Thank you in advance for your
cooperation.”

4. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Similar to above, this sentence implies that you would appreciate the
readers’ further assistance. This expression also shows that the request you
have made is important and that the reader should pay special attention to it.

3. Thank you for your understanding

 3. Thank you for your understanding ▾
This sentence isn’t to congratulate the reader on understanding the words
you have written. We use this sentence to say “Thank you” in advance if we
have done something or requested something that may cause inconvenience
to the reader.

2. Thank you for your consideration

If you are requesting a benefit or an opportunity, such as when you apply for
a new job, end your email with this sentence.

1. Thank you again for everything you’ve done

This sentence, which is used at the end, is a bit different from those above.
Use this if you have already thanked the reader at the beginning of the email,
but due to their great efforts, you wish to thank them again for their past
actions.

Now you know how to say “thank you” in an English email, the only question
left is who you want to thank.
