Spanish Phrase
Porfa, confirma que recibiste mi mensaje de seguimiento.
Meaning
A friendly, informal request asking the listener to confirm that they have received a follow‑up message. "Porfa" softens the tone, while "confirma" directly asks for verification, and "mensaje de seguimiento" specifies the type of message.
When to use
Use this phrase in casual written or spoken exchanges—texts, instant messages, or informal emails—when you need a quick acknowledgment of a follow‑up you sent. Avoid it in formal business letters or when speaking to someone you must address with "usted".

✕Common Mistakes
Por favor, confirma que recibiste mi mensaje de seguimiento.
Using the full "por favor" changes the tone to formal; the original phrase is meant to be informal.
Porfa, confirme que recibiste mi mensaje de seguimiento.
"Confirme" is the formal imperative (usted). The sentence uses the familiar "tú" form, so it should be "confirma".
Porfa, confirma que recibí mi mensaje de seguimiento.
"Recibí" is first‑person past; the subject is the listener (tú), so the correct form is "recibiste".

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries "porfa" is a friendly shortcut for "por favor" and is perfectly natural among peers, but it can sound too casual in formal settings. If you need extra politeness, replace the imperative with a conditional request ("¿Podrías confirmar…?") and use "por favor" instead of "porfa". Also, "mensaje de seguimiento" is a business‑jargon phrase; in everyday chat you might simply say "el mensaje que te mandé".
