Please don't do such a simple response as the other Q&As on this page! You need to show that you care and are professional! The recruiter rmay never answer if you just send a one-liner back.

Something as simple as below where I would tailor the formality of your language based on your style and local culture.

"Dear Partner, thank you for taking the time to respond. I would greatly appreciate the connection. Best, Annonymous"

As Ian mentioned, your answer should show that you are interested. Make it clear, but extensive. Ask, if it is possible to have a call to discuss further details and your resume.
