Friends according to me, the morning they have written letter. Right? so it became past. So why "this morning we were writing" can also come know? clear my doubt?

No grammar or spelling mistakes found.
And we can write this in another way also.
Having got your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for the same.

Yes @Vani.
After receiving your letter this is the write sentence or else we can say like that based on your letter which I have received now and then continue.

I think "having received your letter this morning", we wrote to thank you for the same. A sentence starting with having cannot have two ing words after that.

"having receiving" is a present tense and they are saying that "we are writing" this is also present tense then how can it possible? can anyone explain?

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".

Answer is option D, having received your letter may be for a single individual or a group so we / I am / are writing for the same is also correct.

I think A is correct because having is said to present tense. Received is said to past tense. Is it correct or not I don't no please any tell me.

The word having is used to have some food. So it should be. I have received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for the same.

Having received your letter this morning, we are writing
(a) thank you for the same.
I think 'a' would have been there in place of 'to'.
