The expressions...
(1) ''I will answer after I have received the letter", and
(2) "I will answer after I receive the letter"
... both mean the same thing.
The only difference is the choice of verb form. The first sentence uses the 'Present Perfect with future meaning'. The second sentence uses the the 'Present Simple for the future.'
In some situations the choice between the two verb forms is important, but in this particular case the meaning is clear and unambiguous, whichever style of speech the speaker uses.
