Greetings from Shanghai

My Dear Friends:

I am anxious to hear from you all. Life here isn't as fun as it may seem to you. Piles of homework, pressure of examinations, and loads of delicate things that distract me all make it a burden for me. I am like a drop in the sea.

Do answer my letter ASAP.

Yours faithfully,

Sunny Fu

Thanks! I have meditated for a year, and I do it every day before I sleep. Maybe I'll do it when I'm getting anxious in the daytime.

DoPlease answer my letter ASAP.

If you want to be extremely forceful, then "Do" is completely correct. But I personally would never write in that tone.
