Is this sentence correct:
1) Rest assured that we will cooperate in any way.

I think it makes sense, but it sounds a bit strange to me. I say 'in any way possible' or something like that.
 
Let's say that the authorities are carrying out an investigation in my office about something. I want to let them know that we will cooperate in any possible way. Could I say that sentence?
 
The phrase that's commonly used is "fully cooperative".
 
Let's say that the authorities are carrying out an investigation in my office about something. I want to let them know that we will cooperate in any possible way.
For that context, instead of (1), I recommend:

You shall have our full cooperation.
 
Let's say that the authorities are carrying out an investigation into something in my office. about something.
Note that we either "investigate something" or "carry out an investigation into something".
I want to let them know that we will cooperate in any possible way possible.
In this context, with "any", put "possible" at the end. (I imagine a grammarian will be able to explain why.) I'd probably use "every" instead of "any".
Could I say that sentence?
You could. However, in real life, if the investigation hadn't started yet, I'd use Flask's suggestion or "You will have our full cooperation". If it's started, I'd use "You have our full cooperation".
