Please correct these

Please help me with these sentences. For no. 3, I think the existence of the word "yet" makes the use of a past perfect tense unnecessary (I could be wrong, though).

1. I didn't send the information you requested because I wasn't sure of the veracity (validity?) of the information... I hope I have explained clearly the reason (the reason behind?) my not having sent (not sending? my not sending?) the information.

2. In the year of XXXX, I attended a school that had fewer than XX students and having that small number of students in a school was unusual at the time.

3. He was sad and the reason was that he had received (didn't receive?) the mail yet.

4. A dust pan is (a piece of?) cleaning equipment.
