I dont know what the teachers think.

But I would have said, that the both can be put in slightly different

Thanks from both John and I .

I think would have sounded better as :

Thanks from both John and myself

Thanks from both John and me

Im not really sure about this, but I'm sure someone will have a better suggestion :)

Thanks from both John and me.
The reflexive and the subject pronoun are incorrect.
