Oh, I forgot: If you put it at the beggining, the meaning is altered.
"we haven't yet sent to you the stamped documents" means the documents are not sent, you do not have them, but we are going to send them eventually.
"Yet, We haven't sent to you the stamped documents" means how it is possible you have the documents / information from the documents, we have not sent them to you. You should not have them, yet you does. In your example, after "yet" you explain why something should not be (done/possible/etc)
Another example: She is really skinny, yet she eats a lot of chocolate daily.
Or another: I was told he cannot swim. Yet, he is going on Hawai to learn to surf.
I hope, I am not mistaken and it helps you.
