Write

Hi, could you help me on this?

Someone wrote: Please write to tell me about your breakfast.

I would correct it like this:

Pls write me back to tell me ....

Is the original wrong? thank you!

The original is fine. Your correction is incorrect because it adds information that is not in the original.

Thank you very much. I thought that I could say "Please write" alone.

Many thanks for your help and time!

If you say only 'Please write', then you lose the information about the breakfast. In paraphrasing you should neither add nor subtract information from the original.
