I am delighted for +ing?

[dervast]

Hello everyone.
Today I received some files attached in an email, which I need too much.
So I used the following phrase for replying to the email

I am very delighted for your sending me the files.

How does it sound too you? Is it correct?

Best Regards
Alex.

:up: 'I'm delighted for you' incidentally, can be used on its own - though not in that context. It would be appropriate here:

'I hear you got the job. You must be very pleased. I'm delighted for you.'

I answered that by using the sign :up: - all tedtmc's suggestions are fine. (Note that you can't say 'very delighted'; the collocation just doesn't work - in Br English, at least.) Of those, I prefer '...delighted to receive...' because receiving is what matters. 'I'm delighted that you sent me the files...' could be followed by 'but you told me that last week, and they still haven't arrived'. ;-)
