Grammar question!

Hi, when writing a letter should I start a sentence: Therefore please or Please therefore?
  

Top answer

" Keep in mind that the 'reason' for the request (the 'therefore') must have been a previous explanation, statement, or promise; frequently in a separate paragraph. Please, therefore, do this... may also make the punctuation of that request difficult, depending how much more has yet to be said.
