Sample letters for acknowledgement and acceptance of order

When you receive an order from a customer it is good practice to acknowledge and accept the order under the terms specified beforehand. That way there can be no misunderstanding or queries at a later date. The letter can be simple and straightforward by just repeating in the letter or email the original terms of the order.

An example of how to write a letter to accept an order is shown below. Feel free to copy and adapt it to your own circumstances.

*Don’t forget that if you receive your order by telephone or online, then you should reply via email with the same content as in the sample letter – that way there can be no confusion.
