For Life
2005.02.21

It's been three days since we were in touch last, and we have so much to tell you! So with your permission, we'd like to write to you each day this week. But don't worry - there's no need to write back. It's enough to know that you'll be reading our letters. We hope that with each trip to the mailbox you'll find something both useful and enjoyable!

Explanation

  • To reply to a letter, email, or other written message is to write back (or call, etc.) in answer.

    The answer itself is called a reply.
  • reply とは、手紙やＥメールなどの書面でのメッセージに対して、答えとして返事を書く（もしくは電話をしたりする）、ということです。

    この返事のことを、 reply と言います。

  2. (a customer-service department)
    We try to reply to written complaints within ten business days.
  3. I put a classified ad in the newspaper, but I only got a few replies.
