The spelling of "receive" with 'ei' follows the rule 'I before E except after C'. However, there are quite a few exceptions to this rule in English, with "receive" being one of them.

How do you correctly spell Recieve?

Just to add, FYI, the general rule for helping remember if a word should be spelled with "ie" or "ei" is: "I" before "E" except after "C". In other words, "receive" is spelled with a "c", so the "c" requires that you use the "ei" spelling after it. A word such as "believe" has an "l", not a "c", so it needs the "ie" spelling.
