we are so delighted to receive your letter. vs we are so delighted to receiving your letter.

The correct phrase is "We are so delighted to receive your letter." The verb "receive" should be in the base form after the preposition "to." The other phrase is incorrect because the gerund form "receiving" is unsuitable in this context.
