Je dirais "I have sent" puisque c'est une action dont les conséquences concernent le présent, et "any answer" me semble mieux. Sinon, parfait.

Hey Stane. Actually, I have noticed that all the others agree with my translation but I think you're right. Now it's up to Lilian to decide because she has taught me that we don't always use the same tense from one language to another.
Thanks for your input.

Et aussi, en anglais, lorsqu'on indique une date, c'est MM/DD/YYYY (en français DD/MM/YYYY)...

Hi guys,

@Stane,
About "I have sent", I'm sorry, but since a specific date was mentioned (04.05.09) the correct tense to be used is simple past "I sent"
"a/any" is a matter of choice here, it doesn't make a difference in meaning

@Francky,
How to write dates has become controvertial lately. Actually, today more than a way is acceptable. My favourite structure is:
"May 4th, 2009" (it leaves no doubt), but we can also see that written as:
The 4th of May, 2009. - 04-05-09 - 5/4/09, etc.

That's pretty confusing, isn't it?

I think I'd better edit it "my" way. Do you all agree with: "May 4th, 2009"?

Oh, I'm sorry, you are right, I didn't pay attention to the date and I should have.
Sorry for this confusion.

OK, since we all agree I'll accept this one
