Acknowledgement Letter is a type of letter written to recognise someone’s efforts towards your objective. That someone can be an individual, individuals or an organisation.
In a way acknowledgement letters are sort of informal thank you letters. When we acknowledge someone’s help or support, we are in fact showing our gratitude. A letter of acknowledgement serves a dual purpose – one of a Receipt and second of Public Relation. When these letters are short and restricted to just informing about receiving a package, a letter itself or a notice, it acquires the role of a Letter of Receipt. When this letter is more than just the Acknowledgement Letter of Receipt it becomes a means of public relations. This is more evident in the corporate world where it is a professional courtesy to do so.
Executives when acknowledge receiving a product, services, order etc., it helps them in generating a healthy business relationship. Acknowledge Letter is essentially, what most other letters are meant for, i.e. to inform and communicate. This information can be regarding a complaint, a follow up, debt, donation, gift, payment, project, resignation, retirement etc. But mostly an acknowledge letter confirms the receiving of inquiry, request or an order. As such they may be referred as Acknowledgement of Receipt Letter or Receipt Acknowledgement Letter. Most receipt acknowledgement letters are sent by regular postal mail; fax, email and certified mail.
