Is it normal to say thank you for your promptness?
In the example situation quoted it would be normal to say ‘thank you for your promptness in replying’ or, more likely, ‘thank you for your prompt reply.’ Yeah, and if I got an email using the word “promptitude”, I would think the writer was either a pompous ass or someone not familiar with English. It’s an email!
What’s the difference between promptness and promptitude in the OED?
Futhermore, the OED has two senses for “promptitude”, and only one for “promptness”. So, aside from the definition which makes them synonyms, “promptitude” also means “A prompting, an impulse; an inclination.” (which is marked with Obs., unfortunately).
How to say thank you for taking the time and effort?
ORIGINAL: Thank you for dedicating your time and energy into this. I agree completely with the earlier answer – I think that sounds too flowery. Thank you for taking the time to write this letter. I know you are busy, so I really appreciate your time and effort.

How to know how long a thank you speech should be?
The only way to find out how long your speech is, is to time yourself as you say it out loud at a normal speaking rate. If it’s too long, look for areas you can cut. Maybe you need to group a few more people together or perhaps you need to shorten some of the specific examples about why it is you’re thanking someone.
