How about this:

I also want to know that how much time does it take to receive acceptance message?

Thank you very much.

No.

Use CJ's sentence as a model, and try again.

CalifJim · Answer

Alex JohnI also want to know that how much time

1. You can have "to know that" or "to know how", but not both, as in your "know that how", which is not English.

You need "know how" here.

Alex Johnknow that how much time does it take

2. After "know" you need indirect question word order. You have used direct question form, i.e., "How much time does it take?" You need "know how much time it takes", as I have already indicated earlier.

Alex Johnto receive acceptance message

3. "message" is a common noun in the singular, so it requires an article. You need "to receive an acceptance message" if that's how you wish to phrase it. However, it is unusual to say "acceptance message". More usual might be "a notice of acceptance", though there may be other equally good ways to word it.

So, in summary, as you can see from my remarks above, the sentence has too many mistakes to be considered very good.
