Thank you,sir.

Now I think deeply felt will be fine if the context is right.

I still find it not right, when the word 'heartfelt' exists and is in common use.

I think you might be understood, but actually it's saying that you, the speaker, felt the words deeply, not that the person you're speaking to felt them deeply. That's how I read it, anyway.
