An acknowledgement letter is a document used by businesses to formally acknowledge the receipt of something, for example, an invoice, that can be used as a courtesy, for record keeping, or to raise an issue with whatever service was received.
A letter of announcement is a letter that announces a special event or occasion that people need to be aware of. Letters of announcement
