A payment receipt letter confirms to the other party that you received the money that they have sent, deposited, or paid to you. It can be written by an individual or a corporate entity. Either way, the format of the letter does not change.

Payment receipts constitute legal documents in most cases, so they have to be very accurate and contain as many details as possible.
