Update Letter, publication.

I'm getting published again (2nd author), but it hasn't been published yet.

Can I just say the paper is under review at various journals and then give the title, and authorship in the update letter, and then send another letter when it gets accepted?

Yes. You list the name of the paper and the authors.
Then the proper terminology in your professional CV is "Submitted." Or "In Submission." You shouldn't put the journal you've submitted it to. Perhaps one of the persons reading your update is an editor of the journal you've submitted it to, which, though unlikely, might influence the chance of acceptance. When the paper is accepted, another update is in order with the entire citation.

Better to use "Manuscript in preparation" until it's accepted, and then it will be "in press". I wouldn't use anything else.

I wouldn't send an update unless it has been accepted for publication. Even then I'm not sure a second author manuscript is really going to help, but whatever it can't hurt.

My daughter is convinced that her update of her submitted manuscript, 2nd author, influenced at least 2 schools to give her interviews this past month, including the one she's on today because the interview invitations came within a week of the update. My institution uses "In preparation" for manuscripts that have not yet been submitted, "Submitted" for manuscripts submitted but not accepted (implies that the author is much further in the process than the preparation stage), and "In press" for a manuscript accepted but not yet published.
