"Please ____” is an example of a pleonasm (4)

I believe the answer is:

rsvp

(Other definitions for rsvp that I've seen before include "Notation meaning answer the invitation" , "Reply to the invitation, please" , "Brief notation to say, answer the invitation" , "Reply to invitation initially" , "Invitation abbreviation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
