Actually, along with will, shall, might, can, etc; may is a helping or auxillary verb. So it technically works.

It doesn't become nerd English talk until we start discussing the proper and improper uses of starting a sentence with a conjunction. Or we start talking about dangling participles. Now, where did I leave my hat at?
 
Maybe the title is out of order? Either Mayor or Let is the beginning of the sentence and the other has to be a noun, sense it is capitalized.

Let me Mayor coach
Let me coach Mayor
Let coach Mayor me
Let coach me Mayor
Let Mayor coach me
Let Mayor me coach
Mayor me coach Let
Mayor me Let coach
Mayor Let coach me
Mayor Let me coach
Mayor coach me Let
Mayor coach Let me

Because we already have a noun, we have to have coach as a verb

Let me coach Mayor
Let coach me Mayor
Let Mayor coach me
Mayor me coach Let
Mayor coach me Let
Mayor Let coach me.

Assuming no punctuation or letters are missing

Let me coach Mayor
Let Mayor coach me
Mayor Let coach me
Mayor me coach Let

Now using simple deduction we can find there is only one logical conclusion.

I just found out the other day that it is improper to begin a sentence with the word "this." Total shock to my writing system...

I think it depends on how you use it. At least, that's my understanding.

"This means X" wouldn't be proper, but "This refrigerator only uses X" would be.

I was working on a personal statement for grad. school applications and talked about a situation in the beginning of a paragraph, then ended the paragraph with something along the lines of "This ability to get to know the patients on so many different levels is only one of many reasons..." I thought it sounded all right, but my English major friend apparently didn't like it so much.

You have to look at sentences as individual thoughts. "This" in that instance doesn't refer to anything in the sentence.

Speech and writing are two completely different animals. Especially when applying for anything.
