A comma is needed after "yes."
Yes, I do want it.

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

Says the person who ignores captal letters, commas and fullstops! :) :)

Kitos.

Aikuzo, just do as Milanya says. You won't ever be wrong.

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.

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.

Bill.
