Understand who your message is addressed towards
Understanding to whom your message is addressed shall help you decide the tone of the message. This is very important. You’d never want to sound too formal with a long-time friend, or your reply could come off as cold and dry. And you’d never wanna seem too friendly to a senior at work, or they could get the wrong idea about you.
Be honest
Honesty should be a major element in your message. Let the other party know how the sharing they presented might have helped you and what makes you thank them in general.
Write a draft out first.
While addressing bigger issues, it is best to prepare a draft first. Rewrite it a few times to fit your criteria. You can even get someone to review it for you if the issue is too serious.

Don’t use Idioms/Proverbs.
Idioms and Proverbs might feel too redundant in a simple ‘Thank you for the sharing message.’ Try to avoid them as much as possible.
Don’t be passive-aggressive
As mentioned before, emotions can often seep through our messages. Even if you’re not completely in terms with the sharing provided by the other side, or feel like it wasn’t enough, don’t be passive-aggressive in your message. Just thank them for the fact they decided to brief you with a sharing.
