Hi,
I wanted to ask what the correct sentence is when you want to thank someone for a task that has already been done by this person.
Would you say: "Thank you for having provided this" or "Thank you for providing this"?
Furthermore I was thinking that, when you ask someone to do something, you can say "thank you for providing this" but I wonder whether this is not arrogant because you already assume that this person will do so.
Many thanks in advance for your advice!
Kind regards,
Elke
