A more natural phrasing in formal contexts drops the clitic: "Confirme se recebeu meu lembrete?"

Cultural Tip
In Brazil the default second‑person pronoun is "você", which takes the third‑person verb forms. Therefore, in more formal or business contexts you would say "Confirme se recebeu meu lembrete" or "Poderia confirmar…". Using "Me confirma" is common among friends or close colleagues, but it can sound a bit abrupt if the relationship is very formal.
