"Please be advise..." - this sounds very Eastern EFL. You are attempting to use the passive in the wrong context - formal/polite to imitate Chinese/Japanese usage. It should be "Please be advised..." by the way.

The correct polite usage in English is different:

"May I remind you that the master door keys should be provided to us?"
