"thank you" + infinitive Mon Oct 23, 2006 10:42 am  "thank you" + infinitive
 

Hi there!

I have some doubts regarding infinitive "thank you" sentences:

which of the following alternatives are correct?

---------------------------------------
Many thanks having joined us

or

Many thanks FOR having joined us

----------------------------------------
Thank you having joined us

or

Thank you FOR having joined us

or maybe are infinitive "thank you" sentences never used?

Thanks!!!Very Happy
Alex

Hi Alex

Thanks for having joined us is correct.
(You need the word for.)

You could also say:
Thanks for joining us.
(I think this sounds more natural.)
