The expression "at once" means "immediately". To do something "at once" is to do it "without delay". Example: "Take those shoes off at once! I think you've walked in dog dirt". Do not confuse the expression "at once" with the term "once", which means "one time" or "at one point in time".
This is correct. To do something "promptly" is to do it "very soon" or "without delay". Example: "I asked him to promptly remove his arm from my thigh". In his email, Bruno thanks Donna and Brian for their "prompt attention" to his request.
This is incorrect. The term "later" describes something which happens "after the current time" or "in the future". Bruno writes that he wants to see Brian and Donna "immediately". This means "now", not "later".
To do something "in a while" is to do it "later" or "in the (near) future". Example: "I don't have time to finish my homework immediately. I'll do it in a while". Bruno writes that he wants to see Brian and Donna "immediately": not "in a while".
