I think the word 'please' is not required there.

@Roopa.

"May I" is used for asking permission
"Please" is requesting to get information
So both are needed.
And whom is more formal while asking than who.

So, whom is the correct answer.

I think the correct sentence should be "May I please know who you want to see".

The difference between "who" and "whom" is the same as the difference between "I" and "me" "he" and "him" "she" and "her" etc.

Who, like other pronouns such as I he, and she, is a subject. So, it is the person performing the action of the verb. On the other hand, whom, acts like me, him, and her in a sentence. It is the object. Therefore, it is the person to/about/for whom the action is being done.
