Yes, you may (not "can") start a sentence with the word "for." Examples are below: 1 - For whom does the bell toll?

2 - For me to sell you my hat, you must first give me a dollar.

3 - For all those who sent me their responses I want to express my

appreciation.

4 - For what purpose is your question?

Yes, for example:

For heaven's sake, pick up your clothes and put them in the laundry.

For love or money, I won't give up my laptop.

For example, this is the third sentence that starts with for.
