copy of such notice, together with a copy of the notice of appeal if not 
originally filed with the contracting officer, shall be mailed promptly 
by certified mail to the contacting officer. Such notice shall 
acknowledge receipt of the appeal and advise appellant of the appeal 
number assigned to the appeal.
