I would add a comma after 'approval', and use 'addressed' instead of 'given'. The sentence would read: We have received your request for approval, addressed to Rudy, the Project Administrator.
A request is made or addressed, and generally not used as something 'given' except when someone conveys an approval. The sentence in the question seems to acknowledge that a request has been received, and does not intend to convey that an approval has been 'given'.

it depends on what you did. To give something to someone is not exactly the same as to address something to someone.
