Portuguese term or phrase: Confirme recebimento desta mensagem para certificar-me que você a recebeu.
Proposta de curso enviada pela 2ª vez a uma empresa que diz não ter recebido as propostas anteriores.
Cybeles Lehner
English translation:please aknowledge receipt
Explanation:
penso que fica mal dizer para confirmar que recebeu para saber que recebeu.... basta dizer... (por favor) confirme recepção... se há recepção sabemos que chegou lá (onde quer que seja...) não é preciso dizer ...recepção para saber que foi recebido...
é confuso mas acgo que estou a ser minimamente clara...

eu simplificava a mensagem...
se confirmaram... é porque receberam...

  -> This time, I don't agree with you. If one worker is sending the e-mail he would say so. It depends on the degree of formality

agree  Catherine Howard: the formality of this translation is a good match for the formality of the original; also, the singular "I" is correct -- with all due respect, Maria seems to have overlooked the first person singular in "confirmar-me"
