This kind of sentence is called the pivotal sentence. The predicate consists of two verbal phrases (i.e. 请, 填一下 ) with the object of the first verb (i.e. 您) functioning at the same time as the subject of the second verb. In such sentences, the first verb often has a causative meaning, e.g. 请, 叫, 让. In this lesson, the post office worker asks John to fill in the necessary information for sending the parcel. So it is important you understand this kind of request.
