I'd like to know whether the following sentence sounds natural to you:
Could you tell them to stop sending you our correspondence? We've tried to talk to them many times about it but, alas, you seem to still keep receiving it!
The bold part doesn't sound right to me at all. I think it's just "overkill". I'd reword it as:
1. ... you seem to keep receiving it!
2. ... you seem to still be receiving it!
Am I right?
