I hope this question is not offensive to you.
I hope this question does not offend you.
I hope you do not find this question offensive.

Sentences must always begin with a capital letter. The word "I" is always capitalised, wherever it appears.

You want us to give up our time to help you, but are too lazy to make a slight appear to produce correct English? Then you'll probably find that many of us can't be bothered to respond.
