Dear [recipient's name]:

Thank you so very much for helping me with household tasks, errands, and cooking during my family members' recent illness. I'm not sure how I would have managed to get through this trying time without your able assistance. If you ever need help in a similar situation, I would be happy to return the favor.

Thank you again for your loyal friendship and help.

Fondly,

[Signature]
