Hi all,
I came across the sentence below in a contract.
"Referring to the mail dated as received on November 7"
Is it correct if I say just "received on November 7"
Thank you

Hi Merve,
The phrase in the contract you referred to means that the mail was dated and received on the same day, November 7. There is nothing wrong to simply say the mail was "received on November 7" unless reference to the date of the mail is relevant for purposes of establishing agreed periods in the contract.
Hope this helps.

Hi Teban,
Thank you for your reply.
I am surprised to learn "dated as received" means that "the sending a mail and getting a response back on the same day."
So the meaning is quite different from "recived on November"
Thanks a lot.

Companies often date-stamp corresponance that is received, particularly when dealing with legal and/or financial aspects of a business. They quite literally stamp the current date (and with some automated systems the time) that a letter or package was received. This covers the receiving company because the sender can claim that they mailed a letter on any date they wish, and the postal service can postmark a letter as it passes through their facilities, but the actual date that the letter is in the hands of the recipient is what most companies stipulate as the official date the correspondance is received.

 I see. Then "dated as received" is a formal expression used in business interation to stress "receiving time". Thanks a lot.

Thank you This is very simple situation the main was sent on 7 November and you received it on the 7 November, this mean you get the main on 7 Nov.
