My English isn't the best, but I'd imagine there would be a comma after signature?

That'd be my take on it.
Although if it's a posted formal letter then the layout would be a little different (usually you prefix the contents with to and from addresses plus date and postfix with signature and printed name) and you'd obviously use the appropriate salutation and valediction/closing.

It doesn't read 'nicely' but I'm not sure quite what rules it breaks

Cheers Dom. I did think "By signature" might have been better as "By signing this document".
Leaving it out entirely works just as well, though.
It's not posted. The sign writer will bring the document along with him and get it signed before leaving.
Pow, it doesn't read nicely as in "obviously written by a foreigner" or as in "not quite sure what I'm signing"?
The former I can live with.

"By signature," sounds like very old English to me, which is fine as it does make sense but i can't say i've ever seen it written on any business documents hence why i'd leave it out.

'Receipt' is certainly a good synonym but the commas aren't needed as there's only two 'items' listed in the sentence, ie - the lightbox and the menu. Plus using 'a lightbox' instead of 'the lightbox' would denote that you received a random lightbox rather than a particular lightbox - obviously if 'lightbox with printed fabric' is a name then you wouldn't use either.
