Got a job 2 months ago, how should I thank people who helped me out?

I got a job as an AM Investment Analyst about 2 months ago after a lot of networking. I kept delaying sending thank you emails to people who helped me out, and now I figure I should really send them. Whats the best way to do this? Here's my template so far:

ffallI think you should personalize it by describing how they helped you, and mention that you are very happy with this position.

What you have plus that, but don't suck their dick or make it cheesy. Ball out.

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.
