The first line should be "After Receiving your letter".

Is "for the same" in option C necessary? I think the sentence should just read, "Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you".

Having + past participle = the perfect participle.
Have + past participle = the perfect tenses.
The perfect participle can be used as a modifier. It means an action recently completed relative to the main verb in the sentence. In constructions like these, the "subject" of the perfect participle is the same as the noun it modifies.
Having finished a hard day's work, Manual rested. (active voice) = Manual finished his work, and then he rested.
Having been elected for the third time, President Howell addressed his supporters. (passive voice) = President Howell was elected and then he addressed his supporters.
The bill in Congress was dead, having been defeated on the third vote. (The phrase can be placed at the end of the sentence, too).
