I have written a letter yesterday. vs I written a letter yesterday.

The correct phrase to use here is "I wrote a letter yesterday." The verb "write" in the past tense should be conjugated as "wrote." The phrase "I have written a letter yesterday" is incorrect because the present perfect tense ('have written') is used to indicate an action that happened at an unspecified time before now, not a specific time like yesterday.

I have written a letter yesterday.

This phrase is incorrect. The present perfect tense should not be used with a specific time reference like "yesterday."

The present perfect tense (have written) is used to indicate an action that happened at an unspecified time before now. To talk about a specific time in the past like yesterday, use the simple past tense.
