Acknowledgement Letter

An acknowledgement letter is used to acknowledge a fact, action taken or a situation that happened. This letter is nothing but saying a thank you to some one who has helped or supported you in your difficult times. An acknowledgement is a spontaneous reaction whereas a thank you many times is used as a social norm.

This sort of letter is used to convey your gratitude towards a person who stood with you in your bad phase. It is for a longer duration of time. A mere thank you works with a short term action.

An acknowledgement is a great way to get response from other side. The letter has to be direct and should recall the past deeds and actions that you are acknowledging. This type of letter helps you in building a bond or strengthening the relationship with the recipient. This letter is also used to confirm that you have received a letter, report and you are working on it. The letter should have a positive tone. Do not bring any conflicts that you had in the past in the letter.
