@sullyfish6,
thanks, but is it absolutely wrong ( cuz I wrote it in an exam)? We do say return calls or emails, right?

@slowdance8416,
No, to "return letters" is to send them back unopened. I think you want "reply letter" or something to that effect. I don't know of a direct corollary to a "return phone call" for letters.
