One phrase I use often when asking for a favor and the like:

“Please let me know if you can accommodate this request.”

Please do not use “revert” to mean “reply” or “respond”. It has a completely different meaning, viz:
verb: go back to a previous state (“We reverted to the old rules”)
verb: undergo reversion, as in a mutation

“Revert” means for eomething to go back to it’s previous state. Ice reverts to water for example.

If you want your correspondent to “reply” or “respond” you should say so and refrain from showing your ignorance by using words you don’t understand.

I accept that ‘please revert’ is in common use but it is wrongly used.

I use these a lot:

“Please revert for any clarifications!”
“Kindly revert at the earliest”
“Let me know if any questions”

” I am yet to receive an update from your end ! Request you to revert asap”

“Please acknowledge on receipt”

“Best Regards-Mateen”
“Kindly give me a ring if my explanation is unclear”

“I would appreciate your advise on this issue”

“Hi- With regards to our conversation over the phone, could you please”

“I am indisposed and on leave!”

“PFA the copy of sales report for techflames”

“Please find attached the copy of sales report”
“FYI”—For your information

“PFB” Please find below.

“Please find my comments in blue”

“If you recall, last quarter we agreed upon”
“Please expedite!”
“Kindly send it asap, we’ve already breached the deadline”
“Apologies, missed the attachment”
“Please ignore my previous mail”
“Sorry for the confusion. Consider the attached as latest”
“This is to inform you that Techflames has been chosen as the provider”

I often follow up with someone with the help of following sentences:

“I would truly appreciate if you can check into this and provide the right direction”.

“Any updates so far”.

“Could you please advise for the below request sent on 8 Mar 11″

“Drop me an email when you will have an update per previous mail”

I don’t know if this is the correct way to frame the sentences for follow ups.
