Learn English – Is it right to write “Thank you for your personal interest”

phrase-request

I would like to express my gratitude for giving attention personally to some matter (he doesn't delegate!).

Is it right to write (in an email):

Thank you for your personal interest?

Do native speakers use some others idiomatic expression?

Best Answer

It's a little difficult to tell from your example what 'giving attention personally' means, but to cover both possibilities -

If the person you are replying to simply expressed interest in the matter at hand, the stock response usually is

Thank you for your interest in this matter.

If the person you are replying to has actually done something to correct/improve/interracted in some way with the matter at hand, a better response would be

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

as it implies an action of some sort from the person you are writing to.

Edit: Your edit to your original post makes things somewhat clearer. A more fitting response for your situation would be along the lines of

Thank you for attending to this matter personally.
