What is the right tense

Hi. What is the right tense in the foloowing context?

'I have sent you lots of emails and letters. Haven't I?

I ----------(write)you another long letter today, but it isn't finished yet.'

I personally think we should use past continuous to talk about unfinished action in the past. But the use of present perfect continuous also sound natural.

I would be grateful if you could explain me which tense should be used in that context.

Regards

Present perfect continuous tense should be used.
