As a French this looks like the kind of sentence I could write if I was translating word for word to English.
The word for word translation of the discourse is also quite readable in French: "Aucun événement n’aurait pu me rendre plus angoissé que celui dont la notification a été transmise par votre commande, et reçu le 14e jour de ce mois."

- wongarsu 3y agoAs a German this also reads like a fairly normal sentence. In written form it would have a couple more commas in German, which would make it easier to read, but when delivering a speech verbally this is taken care of by intonation and pauses anyways, turning this into a non-issue for the intended audience even in English.
