Is this grammatically correct - a quick answer if possible please

[HarlotOTara]

Please can someone tell me if this is grammatically correct. I seem to have a frozen brain and am not sure.

'I would like to thank you for your encouragement of Fred this year..'

many thanks

sounds okay to me? im normally quite anal and id accept that as okay!!

Just make sure you only have one period at the end.

I think "..thank you for encouraging Fred..." sounds less clumsy.

I would say '"I would like to thank you for encouraging Fred so much this year".

What yellowraincoat said

Agree with yellowraincoat.. too many you/yours.

I agree with yellowraincoat as well - does sound less clumsy.

Yes, less is more. So I would always say - thank you for rather than I woudl like to thank you for... etc etc.

Agreed Xenia. My mother would go mad at a formulation like that, and usually say something like "Well if you would like to thank them, why not actually do so!"

I would say "Thank you very much for having encouraged Fred ...."

Yes, it sounds as though you're saying "I'd like to thank you for encouraging Fred but my husband won't let me."
