"Thanks bery much" instead of thanks very much. Like cuter?
Sort of ~~ :\

Anyway. "Arigatou Gojaimasu" if someone can help me.
Was this in speaking or writing?

If a native speaker ever writes ありがとうごじゃいます, then that's how s/he wants you to read it for whatever purpose. Most likely s/he is just kidding around.

The only people I've ever heard actually say ありがとうごじゃいます are Koreans in the early stage of their Japanese studies.
