If you want to begin with "Please," then you are giving a command (however politely), and need "note" as the verb form.

Please close the door ... please be closed the door - you see how the second one doesn't work at all?

Hi,

I was pondering over the responses given by Marius and GG and reached a conclusion that only difference between the two phrases are that one is active and the other is a passive construction.

I think the phrase "Please be noted that" means "Please be noticed that" and thus, personally I think it can be used.

I must say I hate to propose an answer that is differe

i guess the example of "please be closed the door" is a bit extreme!?!??
How about the phrase that we use more frequently... "please be reminded that. .. . . ."..... does "pls be noted that..." carry a similar pattern?
Please advise. Thanks.

No, because the person themselves is not being noted - they are doing the noting. Whereas they are being reminded, not doing the reminding, in your example.
