Hi Tom,

‘Reply’ needs ‘to’ with its object. I don’t think ‘reply to me’ would be needed because if you are saying it, then ‘to me’ is understood. Simply write: Please reply. You would use ‘to’ of course with other personal pronouns and nouns such as:

I’m sorry I’m so late in replying to your letter.

A

Now I would end the conversation with this question: Please see below:
