I would not say that that sentence "ends with a statement": it ends with a reason for the request. The entire sentence is the request, so it ends with a question mark.

Thank you, I appreciate a quick response. So, would any punctuation be added such as a comma after the word "you"?

When you speak the expression, would you pause (very briefly) before the word "because"? If so, you could put a comma there, but it is far from essential.
