To fill in the blank in the sentence "My director _______ a business letter the day before yesterday," we need to consider the correct tense of the verb to match the context.

In this case, "the day before yesterday" indicates that the action took place in the past. Therefore, the past tense form of the verb is required.

1. **Options Provided**:
- writes (present tense)
- were writing (past continuous tense)
- written (past participle)
- wrote (simple past tense)

2. **Analysis**:
- "writes" is not correct because it is present tense.
- "were writing" would imply an ongoing action in the past, which is not appropriate for a singular completed task.
- "written" is a past participle and cannot stand alone without a suitable auxiliary verb.
- "wrote" is the simple past tense of "write" and is the correct choice here as it indicates a completed action in the past.

### Final Answer
The correct answer is **wrote**. The complete sentence reads: "My director wrote a business letter the day before yesterday."
