Which of the following sentence is correct:
1) Your acknowledgement of receipt is appreciated; or
2) Your acknowledgement is appreciated.
1) Your acknowledgement of receipt is appreciated; or
2) Your acknowledgement is appreciated.
Hi,
These are fairly standard business jargon phrases.
However, if they are requesting the person to send an acknowledgement,
I suggest
1) Your acknowledgement of receipt will be appreciated; or
2) Your acknowledgement will be appreciated.
Better yet, say
Please acknowledge receipt. Thank you very much.
Best wishes, Clive

They're both OK. #1 fairly obviously just asks for an acknowledgment that they received what you sent them; #2 may effectively mean the same thing or it could, depending on context, be asking for an acknowledgment of something more.
