Many thanks, Alan!
What about this? Are they also same?
1- Could you please reply me as soon as possible?
2- Could you please reply to me as soon as possible?

Hi Tom,
'Reply' needs 'to' with its object. I don't think 'reply to me' would be needed because if you are saying it, then 'to me' is understood. Simply write: Please reply. You would use 'to' of course with other personal pronouns and nouns such as:
I'm sorry I'm so late in replying to your letter.

OK, Alan, a lot of thanks!
Now I would end the conversation with this question: Please see below:
| Quote: |
1- Buy me a sandwich.
- Buy a sandwich for me.
2- Sing me a song.
- Sing a song for me.
3- Call me a taxi
- Call a taxi for me.
4- Prepare me a sandwich.
- Prepare a sandwich for me
5- Forward me his email address.
- Forward his email adress to me.

What is the term (terminology) for such verbs?

Off the top of my head: transitive verbs used here in the imperative mood.
