Hi,
Which preposition should I use? If they are all OK, do they mean the same? If not, could you please tell me the differences? Thanks!
Could you help me in this matter?
Could you help me on this matter?

Most people would use "with" in that sentence.

Thank you, CP, for your explanation.
However I have a related question. If I change verb 'help' to noun 'help', is 'with' still used? Are both following sentences correct? Do they mean the same? If not, what's the difference?
a. Thank you for your help with this matter.
b. Thank you for your help on this matter.
Thank you once again.
Leslie
