Please look through the reminder (request for confirmation ) letter below and tell me if it is ok or if it needs some improvement.
Specifically I am interested if the target phrase "So far we have received no confirmation from you" is enough polite or not.
Shall I leave it as is, modify, or simply drop?
Any other advice will be also greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance!

The sentence that follows requesting confirmation is adequate. Including the sentence in question is a bit redundant.
