And no need to write 'Please read', Quoc. It sounds odd; why else would we be looking at your post?

It is second conditional
It means, if it were not for reading it, then what other reason would there be to look at your letters you post in the fora.
In a nutshell, we read your letters, whether you ask us to do so or not.

Hi,
What is the difference in their meanings?
I'd like to add a small comment that changes in word order can cause small, often subtle, changes in emphasis. Beginner learners don't need to worry about this, but more advanced students should be aware of it.
Best wishes, Clive
