what is the word for the “thank you” section of a document called?
So in a typical letter document that may span multiple pages
At the end of the content, there is paragraph for "thank you" or "signing off"
This paragraph/section only appear once, at the end of the content
however it is NOT a "footer" that appears on every page (as in MS Word treats footer to appear on every page)
i have been resorting to calling it "pre-footer" but wonder if there is a proper term for it
i am just trying to create a letter template, and there is a section for signing-off/thank you which i am trying to appropriately name the section
single-word-requests nouns

I don't know how common it is, but (at least) according to the balance careers, the word you're looking for is closing:
Their Sample Letter Format consists of these sections:
- Contact Information (Sender)
- Date
- Contact Information (Recipient)
- Greeting
- Body of Letter
- Closing
- Signature
The article Formal Letter Closing Examples also uses the term Complimentary Close.

I think from the question you may mean the sign off... Yours sincerely etc...
In which case, most would just say the sign off or the end but I think its technically the valediction

In any book it is called
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acknowledgment/:
acknowledgment
: recognition or favorable notice of an act or achievement
// received
acknowledgment for his charitable works
: a thing done or given in recognition of something received
// an author's acknowledgments of assistance
Here's an example from Reverso.context.net:
''This part of the profile includes a foreword by the ECE Executive Secretary, a preface, acknowledgements, and an executive summary.''

I think from the question you may mean the sign off... Yours sincerely etc...
In which case, most would just say the sign off or the end but I think its technically the valediction
