hartelijk bedanken


Explanation:
I think this is better if the focus is on how much you want to thank a person versus who you want to thank. The other translation could have been from 'thank you'.
In a sentence it would be 'I want to thank you very much' which can be translated into 'Ik wil je hartelijk bedanken' (informal) or 'Ik wil u hartelijk bedanken'
You can also say 'Ik wil u van harte danken' - this would be the most formal way.
