Examples

What to avoid

• Adding “as per my last email” or something similar beside your thanks turns it into a dig.
• Using the same thank-you line in every message makes it stop sounding sincere.
• If a delay elsewhere is what annoys you, raise it separately instead of thanking someone for speed.
• Over-the-top praise like “you're a lifesaver” feels out of place in formal emails to clients or senior people.
