I think the error is in option C.
It should be "Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you".
It should be "Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you".

The error is in Part C: "to thank you for the same".
Explanation:
In standard English, "the same" should not be used to refer back to a noun like "your letter." Instead, use "it."
In correct: to thank you for the same.
Correct form: to thank you for it.
