How you say “Thank you for your concern” will depend on the situation.
The tricky thing with concern is that it has different meanings.
Thank You for Your Concern Meaning
In business, the concern is most likely a problem or situation that a client or customer would like addressed. So, thanking them for their concern is a way of acknowledging that their message was received.
With friends and family, concern is expressing care for one another. For example, when you are sick, and someone reaches out as they are concerned about your health.
There are many ways to respond to your thanks. There are examples below for professional and personal situations.
How To Say Thank You for Your Concern Professionally
When a problem is brought to you or your company, you can respond in a few ways, such as thanking them for sharing their concern.
You can also explain the plan to address the issue in some situations.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be unable to discuss a resolution. For example, when an employee brings a concern about another coworker to the boss. Or when you did not know what the solution would be yet.
Restating the problem will make your message feel more personal and less like a template email sent in response to any concern.
The more information you include in your message, the more likely the reaction from the recipient will be positive. If appropriate, you can also apologize in your communication.
