as we have requested earlier vs as we requested earlier

Both phrases are correct, but the use of 'have' in 'as we have requested earlier' adds a sense of completion or continuity to the action of requesting. On the other hand, 'as we requested earlier' is more direct and concise. The choice between them depends on the emphasis you want to give to the action of requesting.
