I have been written a letter (There is no continuous)
This is incorrect English unless you mean that someone wrote a letter to you.
It has been done (There is no continuous)
This is a perfectly acceptable English sentence but whether it is correct or not will depend on the context.
Is there any meaning in the above sentence?
Can you please correct me with example?
Thanks in Advance!

I've made some comments above but I'm not quite sure what you're question is. As a general rule, the present continuous is used for actions which are still ongoing, and past tenses for actions which have finished.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
