How to request

Please clarify which of the following is correct in a business letter?

1. We kindly request you to...
2. We request you to kindly...

Both forms are very popular. Use either one. If you google "kindly request you to" and "request you to kindly", you will see that they each generate somewhere between 4000-6000 hits.

I know this is a somewhat old post, but I just had to comment.

It depends on what you want "kindly" to describe. If you are requesting kindly, then go with number one. If you are requesting someone else to be kind and do something for you, then choose number to.
