"thank you for your prompt response" vs "thank you for getting back to me so promptly"

The sentence "thank you for getting back to me so promptly" sounds more polite and grateful than "thank you for your prompt response," which makes it sound like you are ordering someone to answer you quickly.

Last Updated: December 10, 2017

If someone has gotten back to you very quickly, you can thank him for this phrase (provided that you are operating in a formal context).
