Answer:
Direct Speech- Saying exactly what someone has said is called as direct speech.
For example, She said, "I am writing a letter to my mother".
Indirect Speech- Reporting someone's statement that he/she had said, without using that person's exact words is called as indirect speech.
For example, She told that she was writing a letter to her mother.
It is also called as Reported speech.

[tex]\large\fbox\color{black}{What \:have \:we \:done \:here?}[\tex]
1) Firstly, we have removed the inverted commas on the sentence.
2) Next we have changed "said" as "told".
3) Then we have inserted the appropriate conjunction "that" before the direct statement.
4) The tense of the reported statement should be in past perfect tense if the direct statement is in present perfect tense. So we have changed 'has written' to 'had written'.
5) Finally we ended the statement with a full stop and now, it's done !!
