Present perfect or past simple



Don't worry, I have written your name on the attendance sheet.



Or



Don't worry, I wrote your name on the attendance sheet.

  • I have written your name on the attendance sheet so don't worry.


I can say so because "We use the Present Perfect to speak about something that happened in the past but is important at the time of speaking"
