I agree with your footnote, but suggest that you pump up the 
formality with a -neS.  The human's phrase is about the maximally 
formal phrasing of the sentiment available in English, so just match 
it in Klingon and you're good.  If it were supposed to be a Klingon 
saying it, I'd sub something about batlh qawlu'jaj, but for a human, 
jIQoSqu'neS fills the bill.
