You use sent when stating you have posted the letter or you could ask "have you sent it?" When using send it's usually used in the future tense except in the phrase "did you send it?"

"Send" is the present tense of the verb, used when you are currently in the process of sending something. "Sent" is the past tense of the verb, used when you have already completed the action of sending something. For example, "I will send the email tomorrow" (present tense) and "I sent the email yesterday" (past tense).
