Grammar
asked for him/ asked him
I contacted the moderator and asked for him to get involved in helping me
I tend to write the sentence as, "I contacted the moderator and asked him to get involved in helping me", and it sounds very natural.
I wonder why the preposition "for" has been used between "asked him" in the original sentence.
Please help me.

It was an error. It is correct without the 'for'.
