sending a letter????

Hi all,
If I sent a letter to my friend, but he didn't get it yet, and I want to tell my friend that I sent letter to him. Which of following sentences is corrected:

I have sent a letter to you a week ago.

Or

I sent a letter to you a week ago.

Thanks,

I sent a letter to you a week ago . When you refer to a SPECIFIC PAST TIME ('a week ago') , you cannot use the present perfect verb form.
