	Mister Micawber  +  338305 Mon, 12 Mar 07 07:55 AM You are wrong.  In the context given-- notice of completed receipt of the item at a specific past time ('this morning')-- only simple past properly serves. Mister Micawber Simple Past

Thank you. Then, what about past perfect? I had received the document this morning. I think this is fine because it emphasis the past action. If  I am wrong, please explain me why it is wrong..
