Well,
A letter or a message is about something and for somebody.
For example:
This is a message for Richard. Do you know what it is about? There is a letter on my desk. Is it for me?

The correct phrase is 'send out several letters' because the word 'several' requires the plural of a noun. Which part of this phrase do you not understand? By the way, your question should read 'Why do we use ....?'

Dear Sir.
Can you give me the differences between :" send out" and " send off"? I have difficulties in verb phrases. What should I do to improve my skill?
Thanks very much!

To send off means to send somebody away especially because of a violation. For example, in sports a player can be sent off if he violates the rules. Send out simply means to dispatch.
