Have Got or Gotten or just Got. Is this grammatically correct?

Question

As I just have got your phone number as well as your email address from Leely, I'm writing to thank you for consenting to speak at the reception for City of BCD's local businesses.

As I have just got... UK English

As I have just gotten... US English

As I just got... UK/US English (may be considered informal by some, but not me!)

Are they all grammatically correct? Yes! Which one should you use? Up to you really

However, in your example "As I just have got.." is unnatural in a written form, although it could be said in a spoken form containing hesitation: "As I just... err... have got...".

Note the position of 'just' in the above examples I gave.

Hope that helps
