"Because of" is rather negative... I'd say "thanks to you, I was able to say 'Thank you' " .

Pieanne"Because of" is rather negative... I'd say "thanks to you, I was able to say 'Thank you' " .
"Thanks to you" is equally negative in some contexts.
"Thanks to you, I've hurt my knee!"

In the sentence, above, I would definitely use "because" in order to avoid repeating the word "thank/thanks".
