We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated xxx
Explanation:
xxx = date of the letter

"We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated xxx" is the literal translation but it's more common (at least in the UK) to just say 'Thank you for your letter dated xx' which is in fact a form of acknowledgement.

we received your letter dated XX of (month)


Explanation:
If you say 'we received your letter' you are already confirming that you have it. Dated, I would say for example, April 22, 2008.
I would write the full date. That's all
