Thanks a lot CalifJim.

AnonymousPlease acknowledge the receipt of the douments via email. Is this correct?

Please acknowledge the receipt of the documents via email.

Is 'the' necessary?

No, you can leave it out. You can also change "the receipt" to "your receipt."

THANK YOU.

Can it be right this too?

Please acknowledge the receipt of the documents via an e-mail.

I think Clive said that the words following the word via follow the same countable and uncountable convention (??).

Grammar GeekNo, you can leave it out. You can also change "the receipt" to "your receipt."

Thanks, Barbara.

>Please acknowledge the receipt of the douments via email. Is this correct?

A bit confusing. You need to clarify that. It can mean both of:

Please acknowledge in email the receipt of the documents.

Please acknowledge the receipt in e-mail of the documents.
or
Please acknowledge that the documents have arrived in your e-mail. .

I think

I was thinking you meant the "the" before "receipt," not "documents."

If you say "via an e-mail," I am now thinking that you want me to send you an e-mail after I get the documents. My first reading is not that you are sending me the documents in an e-mail.
