Hi,
Why will you and not don't you?

Many thanks.

This is a positive reaction put by the speaker because he wants the other person to come back. We use this construction when we are making a request as in these examples:

Telephone for a taxi, will you?

Help me with these questions, will you?

Open the door for me, will you?

I hope this helps
