A comma is needed after "yes." Yes, I do want it. _________________ con·text - The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning. |

it is correct and you can you use it to emphasise the action(( the verb )) you do not need to use yes before this sentence |

Hi, Kitos. Good afternoon (evening?). It is near the morning in my place. I DO appreciate your reply about emphasis. But what about a comma in the address 'Hi, Kitos'? Must I write 'Hi Kitos'? In Russian the comma is obligatory in this case. Yuri _________________ Everything is Anything.

Good morning Yuri. As a personal greeting I wouldn't use it, but in the sentence shown in the question I would use it.
Greetings from Essen.
