Lenguaje formal, ya que le están hablando de usted: [usted] recibirá.
Si fuese en lenguaje informal, le hablarían de tú: [tú] recibirás.

So 'Rodriguez' is the apellido, the family name, and thus formal?

Yes, indeed it is! There are many "-ez" surnames, which are very common, like: Domínguez, Fernández, González, López, Méndez, Pérez, Rodríguez, Sánchez.

Oh,[mention]John238922[/mention]: thanks, I didn't really realise it is a surname.

So, how common is it to use the last name without being preceded by señor(a)?

(Edit: Spelling error corrected.)

Very common. In college some professors used to call us only by our last name.

Rodríguez, suba a hacer su presentación.

González, su examen es un verdadero despropósito.

¿Se cree muy listo, Martínez?

I thought it was a rather unpleasant English affectation.

Although, thinking back to high school, some teachers must have addressed us by our surnames.
