Comment (by anonymous):
You are missing the fact that text is meant to represent speech. When you
read the sentence out loud, it is perfectly fine with a short pause after
the word please. So when you want to transfer that sentence into text, you
need to have a comma in there to indicate that there is the short pause.
So, in my opinion, you are talking about a matter of taste and not about a
grammatic rule.
And consider that the pause can be used to add some "emphasis" to what you
are trying to say.
I know that many academically qualified language teachers cannot all agree
about these kinds of things. It highlights the fact that text is really to
represent speech, and people do not speak in the same manner.
