Please sit down

Hi

Would you say that all are equally natural to your native ears?

  1. Please be seated.
  2. Please sit down.
  3. Won't you sit down.
  4. Please have a seat.
  5. Please take a seat.

Thanks,

Tom

OK. I'll have a go at these.

4. Please have a seat.

This one sounds most natural to me as a request to me personally, as at the beginning of a job interview.

5. Please take a seat.

This one is also natural in the same situation, but it sounds less friendly, more
