Yes, it exists. It's short for "please let us know when you receive this letter, package, etc."

Are supposed to write "advise us..."?

Are supposed to write "advise us..."?

As I've said, it's just shorthand. "Please advise us......." would be much better.

I mean, is "us" necessary,?

"Please advise us upon receipt"?

or can we also write:

"Please advise upon receipt".

Thank you

It definitely exists. . . you've just typed it and I've just read it.

So if it didn't exist before, it does now.
