1 thanks: 'Thanks' is an abbreviated, but very common form of 'thank you'. In SMS messages, 'tks' (and 'thx') is a common abbreviation of 'thanks'.
2 for: In SMS language (or 'text speak'), '4' is the common abbreviated form of the preposition 'for'. Other letters are commonly used: '2' for 'to', 'two' or 'too'; 'U2' for 'you too'; 'B4' for 'before'; 'L8r' for 'later'; 'Gr8' for 'great'.
3 your: In SMS messages, 'your' is often abbreviated as 'ur' or 'UR'. 'Your' is the possessive adjective for the second person.
4 though: 'Tho' is a common abbreviation of the term 'though'. When placed at the end of a sentence (as is the case in Philip's SMS message), 'though' shares a similar meaning with 'however'. Example: She said she enjoyed the party; I think she might be lying though. 'Though' also shares a similar meaning with 'despite the fact that' and 'although'. Example: Although (or though) it rained a lot, we enjoyed our party.
5 be: The future tense 'will + verb' is always formed without the preposition 'to'. In this case, the verb '(to) be' is used. 'Be' is commonly abbreviated as the letter 'b' in SMS messages. Example: Who will b at the party?
6 See you: In SMS messages, 'c u' (or 'cu') is a common abbreviated form of the expression 'see you'. 'See you' (or 'see ya') is an informal way to say 'good-bye' or 'I'll see you later'. It is often spoken or used in text messages or emails.

The term "law" rhymes with:
This is the right answer. The term "law" rhymes with "awe" (as in "awesome"!). When pronounced by British people, "law" rhymes with "awe", but also with "door", "poor", "or", etc. Lots of non-native English speakers have difficulty pronouncing this term.
The term "now" rhymes with "cow" and "how", but not with "law".
The term "though" rhymes with "go", "throw", and "so", but not with "law".
