Any good synonyms for 'thanks in advance' to mix it up? "Look forward to your thoughts" etc.

  I think it's ok to notify an email thread and say something like "Based on our last discussion regarding ____ , Bob is going to _____ . Thanks in advance for setting that up for us @Bob" But yeah, thanks in advance can be a very passive aggressive thing. A more flexible alternative would probably be "appreciate your expertise in setting this up for us"

  I found this[0] a while back, because I always felt "thanks in advance" is just off somehow. They list the following alternatives as examples: "I really appreciate any help you can provide." "I will be grateful if you can send me this information." "Many thanks for considering my request." "I hope what I have requested is possible." "In the meantime, thank you so much for your attention and participation." Often I don't use these word-for-word. The point is, I think, to formulate a closer that's at least a bit customized for the occasion. Then the whole thing will just seem more natural, friendly and human.
