It's a posting bonanza!

More phrases that I find annoying (from an interoffice email):

"...please can you get in touch by return."

Issue #1: "Return" is not a form of communication that I'm familiar with. Perhaps it's akin to the carrier pigeon, and has gone extinct.

Issue #2: "please can you get in touch" is sufficient. Simple. Conveys the request.

To sum up: this phrase is both redundant and nonsense. F.
