"We had received your payment" vs "We had already received your payment"

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'We had received your payment' simply states that the payment was received at some point in the past. On the other hand, 'We had already received your payment' emphasizes that the payment had been received before a specific time or event. The addition of 'already' in the second phrase adds a sense of completion or timeliness.
