Sorry, I meant more context about the relationships between the people involved, and about what wish has been fulfilled. For example, your sentence may seem too elaborate for ordinary business correspondence.

The person who has helped is a senior colleague and well wisher of the speaker.
The wish is the person has facilitated a meeting with a celebrity.

In that case "fulfilling my wish" does seem appropriate. I agree with teechr's simplification.

Thank you teechr
