correct translation of this sentence?
Hi , I wrote this sentence but i'm not sure if it's correct and/or sounds natural.
What I want to say is: You have asked me to write to you a week before starting so that you can send me the adress and other instructions to begin.
My try: Me ha pedido escribirle una semana antes de iniciar paraque pudiera enviarme la dirección y otras indicaciones para empezar.
I'm especially not certain of the use of subjuntivo imperfecto (pudiera) in this sentence
Thanks in advance

Iniciar usually takes a direct object. So you could put in something like "el proyecto." or "la obra", or whatever else the writer is talking about.
Your use of the subjunctive is OK, but "para que" is two words.
Because this seems like a formal communication, I would say it this way:
Tal como me pidió, por este medio me pongo en contacto con Ud. una semana antes del inicio de (el caso) para que me envíe la dirección y los demás datos así para empezar.
