How to Write a Letter of Receipt

It is courteous to acknowledge you received materials.

If you do office work for a business, educational institution or other organization, you will find that people or other organizations often send you materials and documents. While some of these items require no response, others necessitate some sort of acknowledgment from your office. For example, if a student has sent his letters of recommendation for a program he is applying to, it would be courteous to send a quick letter letting him know you have received the materials.

1. Type the subject at the top of the letter and type the date. Below this type the name of your company, your address and contact information.

2. Below your information, type the information for the person who sent you the materials, including his name, address and the name of his organization.

3. Type the salutation, using the name of the person who sent you the materials, such as, "Dear Mr. Smith."

4. Type in a statement below this that you are acknowledging the receipt of the items listed, and received them on the given date.
