    Imagine '幸甚' is like wearing your best suit. It shows you care a lot. It is much more formal than everyday clothes.

    This is much more formal than "〜と幸いです". It shows much deeper thanks. Use "〜と幸いです" for normal business. Use this phrase for important letters to clients or bosses. You can add "に存じます" for even more humility.

    Don't use this when you are speaking. It sounds too formal. For example, do not say it to a friend. You can use it in formal writing. Think of business emails or official papers.
