"Scrivi" is second‑person singular; the sentence needs first‑person "scrivo" because you are the one writing.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, "ti" signals a familiar relationship, so reserve "Ti scrivo di nuovo" for friends, peers, or colleagues you know well. In a formal context you would use the polite pronoun "Le" – "Le scrivo di nuovo" – and possibly a more formal verb form like "Le scrivo nuovamente". Italians appreciate a brief apology or explanation when following up, so adding a short reason (e.g., "perché non ho avuto risposta") makes the phrase sound courteous.
