I've heard both "A S A P" and "asap" (with either /ei/ or /æ/ for the initial vowel, which is stressed).

The BE, used in telegrams, used to be "soonest" - but this is moribund, if not dead.

Moribund:

If you describe something as moribund, you mean that it is in a very bad condition. (FORMAL)

but 'in a very bad condition' verging on death. And it is indeed formal.
