"El recibo" vs "la recepción"

In a business letter for an agency that wants to use family friendly language, which translation is better for "to acknowledge receipt of this notification"? "para confirmar el recibo de esta notificación" or "para confirmar la recepción de esta notificación"
I have also seen the verb "acusar" used instead of "confirmar". Is one more formal than the other or does it depend on region?

"para confirmar la recepción de esta notificación" because "recibo" may be confused with "recibo de pago" (payment receipt). "Acusar" is a regionalism.

You can 'acusar recibo de algo or confirmar la recepción de algo .... the choice may be slightly regional but as far as I understand both work fine
