1. Please aknowledge your receipt. Please acknowledge receipt of this email.
2. When you receive this email, please let me know.
3. Please let me know once you receive this email. Good - less formal.
4. Please reply with a "well-received", so that I know that you've received. Not good. Well-received has a different meaning, which is that something was welcome. That peple were happy to receive something. It is also used to describe a good reaction to a new film, book, etc - that people liked it.
Which one is natural? Thanks a lot!
