Thank you for your consideration

[Silverobama]

I wonder if the following ones are both good.

a) Thank you for your consideration.
b) Thank you for being considerate.

And do they mean the same?

 

[tedmc]

Yes and no.

(a) is about thanking someone for having given their thoughts/time to deal with a subject for the writer.
(b) is about thanking someone for being thoughtful about the well-being/convenience/feelings of the writer.

 

[SoothingDave]

I say just no.

Use the first in almost all correspondence.
