hi! I think, both variants are correct but the second one is more common.

In English you say: "Tell me please" or "Please tell me".
In Russian we say the same :" Скажи (скажите) мне пожалуйста" or "Пожалуйста, скажи (скажите) мне."
However, in Russian you may easily throw away pronoun "мне". It is normal and a little bit informal.

Agree with anny but... In addition, I'd like to say that "пожалуйста" is a parenthesis so it should be marked out with commas. Like this: "Скажите мне, пожалуйста, ..." or "Скажите, пожалуйста, ..."

Both are correct:
Скажите мне пожалуйста. (Мне - me)
Скажите пожалуЙста. (without me)

В принципе разницы практически нет.....оба выражения верны))
Скажите пожалуйста? и Скажите мне пожалуйста?
Отличие-это конкретизация (мне)себя во втором случае)
