An acknowledgement email lets another person know that you received a message or request, even if you aren’t able to give a full response right away. While you don’t need to send an acknowledgement for every personal email you receive, you should respond in a professional or business setting when you’re addressed directly. If you only need to tell the other person you received their email, send a short acknowledgement to let them know. If the person requested a service or ordered a product, provide more information about when to expect a reply or how to resolve any issues.
