Please revert back
Please reply
"Revert" alone means to return to a previous state — "revert back" is redundant in standard English.
"Please reply" or "Please get back to me" is natural in native English. "Revert back" is common in Indian English business writing but sounds redundant to native speakers (revert already means go back). For international teams, stick with: "Please reply at your earliest convenience."
