Have received your letter is the correct form.

Can you justify? @Nibedita.

Vicky said:   5 years ago
According to me, It should be, We are writing you to thank for the same.

Option D is correct.

@Anu,

Having + 2nd form of verb is used, when two actions are taking place simultaneously.

We are writing a thanks letter as soon as we have received the letter.

D is correct but if we add "after" that is also make sense.

I think it is,

I have received your letter this, we are writing to thank you for the same.

Sweety said:   5 years ago
I think, the sentence should be;

Having received your letter this morning, we are thanking you for the same.

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