Is the phrase please be rest assured gramatically correct?

The phrase "please be rest assured" is not grammatically correct.

The correct phrase is "please rest assured".

The reason is that "rest assured" is a fixed phrase that means "be confident" or "be certain." It's similar to saying "be sure."

"Be rest assured" sounds awkward and unnatural because "rest" is a verb, and "rest assured" is a set phrase that should be treated as one unit.
