How to write a formal business email to thank someone.
Hi, I am writing a business email to thank someone who is willing to share his email address through my contact and let me email him. I could not tell how should I word this sentence formally English.
My current version is " Thank you so much for letting XXX share your email address with me!" But this sounds so silly.
Could someone share some experience with this?

Hi Yi Zhang,
What you have written seems perfectly fine, if not slightly informal in my opinion. What you have written is grammatically correct and friendly. If that is the approach you want to take, then go ahead. However, if you wanted something slightly more formal, I would advise you take the "so much" out as it seems a little bit too excited, thus making it less formal. For the same reason I wouldn't include the exclamation mark.
A slightly more formal way could be "Thank you for agreeing to share your email address."
Although saying this I would like to emphasise again that what you wrote is grammatically correct and it all depends on the approach you want to take.
If you have any further questions please feel free to get in touch www.italki.com/maddie.
Good luck!
