For example, if you’re expressing thankfulness or gratitude in a speech at a wedding, a formal reception or networking event, or in a lecture, it would be appropriate to choose more formal language.
Or if you’re writing thank you notes to friends and family members; if you’re sending an email to say thank you to a new client; or writing to another company, again, you’ll want to use these more formal expressions.
I’m so grateful for… / I’m so thankful for… / Many thanks for…

Sometimes we have very difficult times in our lives. Maybe a loved one becomes ill. Someone passes away. Or perhaps you lose a job.
Tragedies happen. These can be terribly stressful times. If you are writing someone to thank them to help you, these expressions are most appropriate.
“I’m eternally grateful to you for providing dinners to my family while I was in the hospital. I felt comforted knowing they were well-feed.”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for your help after my mom passed away. I was devastated and you helped me get through each day. ”
When the thing you did to help the other was enjoyable, then you can use this. A typical example might be when you cook a meal for friends, they say 'thanks' and you reply 'my pleasure' because it was a pleasure to cook for them.

Some helpful thank-you phrases for different situations include: “Thank you for your valuable advice”, “I really appreciate your help”, “I applaud you for your excellent work”, “I am forever grateful for this opportunity”, “I greatly appreciate your time”.
The ideal note is brief and to the point. Start by thanking the person, with specificity, for their gift or kind act. Write about how you plan to use their gift or how their actions made you feel. And then reiterate your thanks and mention the next time you'll see the person.
Cheers is an informal way of saying thank you and you can use it in all manner of situations, especially when thanking a stranger for doing something nice for you, like holding a door open for you, or to a taxi driver when they drop you at your destination.
Etymology. From Middle English thanks, thankes, from Old English þancas (“thanks”), from Proto-Germanic *þankōs, nominative plural of *þankaz (“thought, gratitude”), from Proto-Indo-European *teng- (“to think, feel”).
While it is customary to offer a “thank you for your service” to veterans, if you're looking for an alternative, you could instead say: “Thank you for putting your life on hold to serve our country.” “Thank you for the sacrifices you made being away from your family.”
