I doubt that you can use a question tag with Let him go. It is an imperative, and imperatives do not lend themselves to question tags.

I'd use 'Let him go, will you?' This would reduce the force of the imperative. ;-)

It certainly would.

I would use "won't you", but I agree with TDOL that it reduces the force. Remember that "you" is the implied subject of imperatives. :wink:
