Writing a Receipt Acknowledgement Letter
Confirmation or acknowledgement of receipt is very important, and often mandatory in business transactions. If you have ordered certain material, products or anything else from another party, it is not just polite but also practical to acknowledge receipt of said items.
Similarly, if you are working in an organization and request documents or files from another department you should acknowledge receipt so the other person knows you got what you requested.
Here we will show you how to write a receipt acknowledgement letter and also provide a sample and a template for your reference.
