Hi friends, one of the employees of my company is holding the company's asset (laptop) and has not returned it despite many calls and follow-ups. He has agreed to return the asset but is asking for a receiving receipt in return.
My sincere request is for your assistance in drafting an appropriate letter to acknowledge the receipt of the asset.
Thank you.

Handling Non-Compliance with Asset Return
As the employee is holding company assets, company management can demand compliance, first through a request, then through advice, and finally through a warning. You may prepare a warning letter indicating that non-compliance with instructions may lead to consequences for which the employee shall be solely responsible. After the employee returns the asset, please issue an acknowledgment slip with a seal and signature.

Steps for Handling Unreturned Company Assets
The best option is to collect all the assets issued before the last working day of the employee. In case that was not possible, then follow these 3 basic steps:
Steps to Recover Assets
The first step is verbal communication. The second step is to give written warnings. The third step is to deduct the value of assets from the Full and Final (FnF) amount.
As per the law, any company cannot hold the full and final payment for any good reason beyond the mentioned deadline. Although a few companies follow this practice in case the employee does not return the assets, in such cases, the company is liable to deduct the applicable amount from the FnF total amount and release the due amount.
Thus, make sure you have the undertaking signed by the employee before assigning any asset to him/her, which states the complete details of assets given and the consequences if they are not returned in exactly the same condition.

In our Company Employee Contract, on the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason (or at any time prior thereto at the Company’s request), the employee shall return all property belonging to the Company or its affiliates (including any Company-provided laptops, desk computers, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices, or other equipment, or documents and property belonging to the Company). The employee could only retain the team colleagues' address book, which includes only contact information.
The supervisor will complete the Termination Notice and forward this Notice of Termination Form to the HR Department.
The HR Representative will arrange for the supervisor to meet with the employee to explain the situation and perform the exit SOP.
The supervisor will be responsible for proceeding with the Termination Check-out List and collecting Company property back accordingly.

Issuing a Receipt for Returned Assets
If a former employee is returning an asset that was with them, there is nothing wrong with giving them a receipt to show they have returned it. However, you should issue it only after the asset is in your custody and you have verified that it is working properly and not damaged.
If you wish, you can issue a receipt clearly stating that the asset is not checked and verified for damage and working condition. His request for the receipt is not wrong by itself.
