neutral  Monika Truszkowska-Pruchniewicz: it seems to be a direct translation of "i den forbindelse", I do not think this expression is found in English

...and therefore he has asked me/and so he has asked me


Explanation:
Like Helen Johnson, I could use more context, but would suggest:

"He has told me that he's xxx and has therefore asked me"
"He has told me that he's xxx and so he asked me"
For example: "he has told me that he's unable to attend /and has therefore asked me to welcome you all/and so he asked me to welcome you all"

To see other examples of this, try to Google the following:
"and has therefore asked me"
"and so he asked me"


Kind regards,
Susanne
