I think you are talking about whether or not it should be "have" or "had" and that depends on the context. If you want to assess the chronology of events, you should use had and specify the event "deadline" . . . if you had sent out the memorandum before the boss's meeting.
If you just want to know if the object is already gone, you should say "have".
Lastly, if you want to ascertain custom, instance, or routine, you should also use "have".
Hopefully you can see the minor differences.
Hope that helps!

the two "a Christian" and "Christian" are grammatically spectacular. the 1st is a nominalized adjective (a noun word with an implied noun, right here "individual"). the 2nd is only an adjective. same for Buddhist. be conscious that for some religions, there is derivational morphology (fancy talk for "exchange the word a splash") once you alter it relatively is area of speech. So going from adjective to noun will effect in a distinctive word (eg: Jewish and Jew, yet there there is likewise cultural context. you in all probability elect to keep away from speaking in an accusatory way like the bitots do). the two "i'm Atheist" and "i'm an Atheist" are grammatically incorrect. Atheist is only capitalized on the beginning up of a sentence. To me it sounds awkward to declare "i'm atheist" simply by fact atheism isn't an prepared team, so utilising a demonym would not sound ideal.

I don't understand the question mark at the end. If you are stating to someone "I was wondering" are you looking for an answer or just stating what's on your mind? It is also past tense. You might have been wondering a year ago. What is wrong with "Did you send out..."?

Of course.
The use of the Simple Past in the Indirect sentence "I was wondering if you sent out..?" would imply that the direct question would be with the Simple Present, and is therefore a habitual or repetitive action.
Direct: "Have you sent out..?"
changes to
Indirect: "I was wondering if you had sent out..?"
Direct: "Do you send out..?"
changes to
Indirect: "I was wondering if you sent out..?"
