It's very simple don't make it complicated, there is no need of using two time shall in one sentence.
She tell that "I shall certainly write you when "it means she still not in Delhi that's why she tell that I shall write you after wards (means in future).
So again no need to specify that "when I shall reach then I write you no need it.

Simple grammar guys,
@Sheetu: When we use simple future its mandatory to use simple present. Since both the work is going to happen in the future.
So correct sentence is : I shall certainly write 'to' you.
When I reach New Delhi.
Using 'certainly' with shall means - Emphasizing on writing.

Reaching delhi is sure. So no use of "shall", but writing to you when I reach there is not sure, although it is certain that I will write to you but its not sure. Therefore, "shall certainly" is correct. Am I clear?

This one is a time clause example. So after the conjunction 'Where' present simple rule is must.
Rule : 1st clause (Present Simple/ Future Simple) + Conjunction + 2nd Clause (Present Simple).
Rule : 1st clause (Present Simple/ Future Simple) + Conjunction + 2nd Clause (Present Simple).

If two actions take place one after the other in future and if the first action depends on the first action, first action is in simple present tense and the action is in simple future tense.

No, I think that we can't use should here, because if we say "I should certainly write you" then it is become my responsibility to write a letter.
So here it is not my responsibility.
So here it is not my responsibility.

There are two clauses 1. Principal clause 2. Subordinate clause, shall is used in principal clause so there is no need to use it again in a subordinate clause. It's a rule in grammar.

If in one statement two simple future verb required to be used then the sentence which starts with 'if', 'when', 'before', 'till', 'until' there we use simple present (for verb).

I think shall comes with first person whereas will comes with second and third person, so it is 'I shall' and not 'I will" and "write to you" is right.

'I shall write to you when I reach New Delhi ' is the correct way I think. So there is error in two parts of the sentence.
Correct me, If I am wrong.
Correct me, If I am wrong.
