If you need to confirm something in a business email back to someone, telling them you have completed a task, often times you can use the word “confirm” right in the subject line, followed by a colon and then a statement such as “contract sent to company XYZ on this date”. In other words, you're confirming back to the receiver, the original sender, that you've done something, compared to just typing the word “yes”. Indeed they often don't know what the word “yes” refers to within the business e-mail, but by putting “confirmed: contract sent to company XYZ on this date” in the subject line you are specifying what it is you have done.
