    'receive' is a semi-formal/formal word, and you are talking to a friend, so 'get' is appropriate.

    "Did you get my letter?"

    "I didn't get your letter."

    "Your letter hasn't arrived as yet."
    or
    "I haven't received your letter."

    Note: 'mail' is the general word for what arrives in the post.
    We might ask of someone in the house, "Has the mail come?"
    You might see this also in the form, "Has the mail been?" or "Has the post been?" Here, these are a short way of asking, "Has the mailman been?" and "Has the postman been?"
    But when talking about a specific item of mail, we would tend to refer to it more speficifcally, as 'letter', or 'packet', or 'parcel'.
