Questions & Answers about از شما خواهش می‌کنم که به این مشکل رسیدگی کنید.

In this sentence, is شما referring to one person or a group?
It could technically be a group, but given the formal tone, it is almost certainly being used to address a single respected person (like a manager or official). Using the plural pronoun شما and the plural verb رسیدگی کنید is the standard way to show deference to one addressee in Farsi.
Why do we use the preposition از before شما?
The compound verb خواهش کردن (to ask/request) requires the preposition از (from) to indicate the person being asked. A literal translation of the phrasing would be 'I make a request from you.'
Why is the preposition به used before این مشکل?
The verb رسیدگی کردن (to look into / to attend to) requires the preposition به (to) to introduce the issue being addressed. You can remember it as giving your attention 'to' the problem.
Why is the second verb رسیدگی کنید in the subjunctive mood?
The first verb خواهش می‌کنم (I request) expresses a desire or plea. In Farsi, verbs that express wanting, needing, or requesting require the following verb (connected by که) to be in the subjunctive mood, because it describes a potential action rather than an established fact.
Since رسیدگی کنید is subjunctive, why doesn't it have the بـ (be-) prefix?
Because رسیدگی کردن is a compound verb. In modern Farsi, many compound verbs drop the subjunctive بـ prefix entirely, as adding it to the non-verbal part of the compound sounds awkward and is generally avoided.
