Cultural Tip
In Italy, showing promptness is a sign of respect, especially in professional contexts. However, the tone of "Lo faccio subito" can be informal; in a very formal email you might prefer "Provvederò immediatamente". Also, remember that the object pronoun "lo" must agree in gender with the thing you’re referring to (use "la" for feminine nouns).
