Looking for a memorable, genuine way to thank someone?
If your goal is simply to bring a touch of warmth and humanity into your message, a simple “thank you” may suffice, but if you really want to express your thanks, “thank you” probably won’t feel like enough.
“Thank you very much” has been a long-time go-to for emphasizing thanks, but with its formal tone it won’t always be the best choice for conveying feelings in a personal way.
“Thank you so much” has become a popular phrase for email sign-offs and to express gratitude—it’s colloquial, and feels personal and sincere—but all that (over)use may be lessening its impact.
While your go-to may always be “thank you so much” or “thank you very much,” if you’re looking to branch out and explore other meaningful ways of saying “thank you” in your writing, we have some suggestions to get you started.
1 Thank you for all your hard work on this
Who wouldn’t love the one-two punch of gratitude and praise? Show your appreciation by recounting the awesome thing they did—the more customized, the better! “Thank you for all your… incredible work on our project…. invaluable insights on my manuscript… kind words during this difficult time…”
2 Thanks again, we couldn’t have pulled this off without you
Share the impact they’ve made. “Thanks again… your help made a huge difference… you’re the main reason we were able to launch on time… you’re a lifesaver…”
3 Thank you, you’re amazing!
A little praise can go a long way. “Thank you, you’re… a gem… a real peach… a rock star… a genius… seriously incredible… the bee’s knees… the best…
4 I’m so thankful for everything you bring to the table
What are you thankful for about this person? “I’m so thankful for… your amazing sense of humor, even when things are hard… the way you jumped in and started contributing right away… everything you’ve done for this monster-size project…
5 Thank you kindly

Use this fun phrase with folks you have a close relationship with (probably not your boss). Other variations include “Thanks a ton” and “Thanks a bunch.”
