*71*0 01p

00Hi All,02p

01p

00What should I write in a reply e-mail whenever I got it from my boss or co-workers? I'd like to express that I've received their information.02p

00I always write 01b00"01i00Yes!!02i00"02b00 or 01b00"01i00Received!!02i00"02b00. But it seems a little strange.02p

01p

00Are there any other proper expressions?02p

00Unless the person says "01i00Please let me know when you read this, so we can talk about it02i00" or something like that, to respond to every e-mail is 01b00NOT02b00 a good idea. And if you do need to respond, do not use an exclamation mark, and certainly do not use two of them.02p

00Hi Wilsonidv,02p

00I see where you're coming from. I'm also one of those who always need to confirm receipt of emails or documents sent to me as I work as a freelance translator and all the jobs are sent via email.02p

You can reply with the contents of the mail with mail having just one line
ACKNOWLEDGED
OR
mail received and read.

but the latter seems ackward.

As a best practice, I typically treat emails (not all but, most) as a conversation and be sure to follow up with an acknowledgment (i.e. thank-you, I agree, etc). This ensure that the person that sent you an email, knows you've read and agree/disagree. In a work enviroment, it improve the overall communication with clients and colleagues. that's my two cents!

I think it's important to acknowledge crucial and high priority emails especially in a business environment. There are times when emails are not received for some weird reasons, if an acknowledgement is sent, then the sender will be rest assured that the email has been received.

Thanks
