Hi merdogan

Is this a polite request? In that case, in English we often add 'please', even if it is not in the original language. Without 'please' it can sounds rather bullying in English

Dear Lein,
You are right, it will be better with "please".

Thanks! Done.
From ekızılok's comment - just checking: is 'about' better than 'for' or 'to' here?

Thanks! Rollingmaster, which one do you think is better?
Merdogan, do you agree with kfeto's suggestion?

"Please, say something for your Turkish fans"

Yet, there is not much of a difference, I think.

Thanks! The difference is that when you say something about B, you tell person A about person B. B will probably not hear this; in any way, he is not the intended listener.

When you say something for B, you say something to B or you say something so that (eventually) B will hear it.

Thanks all, I have edited and evaluated
