to be send or to be sent

Hi,
I sometimes see the phrase "to be send" before what I call a directional phrase like "to Ms. Jackson." Which is correct?

I have a letter to be send to Ms. Jackson
I have a letter to be sent to Ms. Jackson.

Yes, you can say that.

But more natural is eg The letter for Ms. Jackson is ready.
