I did send you an request vs I have sent you a request

'I have sent you a request' is the proper phrasing; 'I did send you an request' is not correct. The correct phrase uses the present perfect tense to indicate an action that was completed in the past and has relevance to the present. The incorrect phrase lacks proper verb tense agreement and article usage.
