    Positive is right on, take his answer.

    However you can’t say “merci POUR votre compréhension et POUR votre bonne collaboration.”

    In French it would be, “Merci DE votre…. et DE votre bonne…”

    You will use “pour” only if it’s something concrete like a letter = merci pour ta lettre/merci pour la tarte, etc., otherwise it’s an anglicism ;)
