Hello gilysse, You would not normally put a comma there. If you were writing dialogue and wanted to show that the speaker paused signficantly there, you could.

Wow, thanks for getting back so quickly!

So by what you said, it is grammatically wrong? When we mark the papers, we shouldn't accept something like that?
