please send us the final draft when it was ready vs please send us the final draft when it is ready

The correct choice is 'Please send us the final draft when it is ready.' The use of 'is' is appropriate because it matches the rest of the sentence. 'Was' is incorrect in this instance because it refers to a past event, which does not align with the idea of sending the final draft when it is ready.
