You've chosen the wrong "that" for the Klingon. "the second sentence you
wrote" is {mu'tlhegh cha'DIch DaghItlhbogh}.

The way to say "could you please -- no offense intended" in Klingon is {-neS}.
Just slap it on the main verb of the command, and you are as fawning as you
ever need to get in Klingon.
