First, note that "Iam" is not a word. The phrase is "I am". Please edit your post.

See my suggested amendments above. It appears that you think the word "that" must always be followed by a comma. That is incorrect.

Thanks [strike]Moderator[/strike], I really appreciate [strike]for[/strike] your help.

Note that it is not necessary to make a new post to say thank you. Just click "Like" on the post that you found helpful.

In addition, don't refer to people as "Moderator", "Administrator" etc. It's unnecessary. There is no need to use anything in this way but, if you want to, use the username. This post would have started "Thanks, emsr2d2". Also note that we say "I appreciate your help". No preposition is required after "appreciate".
