I came across the vocabulary 「どうか（ください）」. Could you please give an example of
it's use?

Thank you in advance!

How do you use 「どうか」 to mean please?
You wouldn't use "どうか" standing by itself. Added to a request (like てください), I
think it adds a nuance of a strong request/entirety/petition.

どうか許{ゆる}してください - please forgive me

どうか、息子{むすこ}を - please (help/save/look after) my son (sentence with verb
dropped)

By comparison, どうぞ can be used in an invitation/offering sort of sense (please
have a seat/please help yourself), whereas どうか cannot.
