Thank You E-mail to POI without committing to program

[lordtiandao]

I've received congratulatory e-mails from two professors concerning my admissions. It's the usual "congratulations you've been admitted, more info coming soon, please write if you have any questions" e-mails. I want to politely thank them and express my interest in the program but at the same, I don't want to make any commitments yet as I'm still waiting for more decisions. What is the best way to craft such an e-mail?

I had the same thought! Here is the email that I sent to my POI at University of Alabama after I got his voicemail message confirming my acceptance to the UA Master's program:

"I just wanted to confirm that I received your voicemail message regarding acceptance to the Master's program. It was a very nice and welcome surprise. Thank you and the admissions committee for extending this offer. I look forward to finding out more about your excellent program as I progress toward making my final decision."

@TheHessianHistorian Thank you! That was very helpful, I'll try to write something along those lines as well.
