Romeo doesn't know about the Friar and Juliet's plan to fake her death. He needs to know so he can come to Verona and take Juliet back to Mantua with him.

Why wasn't Friar Laurence's letter delivered to romeo and did Friar John go to Mantua himself or did he try to get a messenger?
Friar Laurence's letter is not delivered to Romeo because Friar John was kept in quarantine since there was a plague in his house. Friar John wanted to go to Mantua himself but he couldn't. Once Friar Laurence hears this he says: "Now must I to the monument alone. Within these three hours will fair Juliet wake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of these accidents; But I will write again to Mantua, And keep her in my cell till Romeo come." His plan is to go to the tomb, get Juliet then write a second letter. But Friar Laurence's second letter is never sent to Romeo because Romeo's servant Balthazar has already told him Juliet is dead. Romeo arrives at the tomb before Friar Laurence can even write the second letter, which results in Romeo killing himself, which results in Juliet killing herself.
Why must the friar send a messenger to mantua?
Mantua is where Romeo is. He's been banished there for killing Tybalt. The friar has to send a message to Romeo so that Romeo will find out about the plan for Juliet to fake her death, or Romeo will think Juliet is actually dead. ***SPOILER*** The reason Romeo and Juliet died was because the letter never actually got to Romeo.
Who does Juliet turn to for help when her parents leave?
they say she must marry or move out.
Why friar Laurence finally accept Romeo's proposal?
I think you must be asking about Act II Scene 3. Romeo wants the Friar to perform the marriage between him and Juliet. The friar is at first reluctant because just yesterday Romeo was getting all weepy about being in love with Rosaline. But after thinking about it, the friar thinks that a marriage of this kind might help end the feud between the Capulets and Montagues so he agrees.
Why does Romeo not receive the friar's letter?
The messenger, Friar John, was quarantined and was unable to delive Friar Lawrence's letter. Some say it's because he caught the plague but in the play it does not actually say that. Here is what Friar John says: Going to find a barefoot brother out, One of our order to associate me Here in the city visiting the sick, And finding him, the searchers of the town, Suspecting that we both were in a house Where the infectious pestilence did reign, Sealed up the doors, and would not let us forth So that my speed to Mantua there was stayed. It kind of sounds that Friar John, instead of heading straight to Mantua, went looking for another brother "to associate me here in the city visiting the sick", so, to help him visit sick people in Verona. And as he might have predicted, because it must have happened fairly often, the authorities thought that one of those sick people was suffering with the plague (it doesn't say they definitely were, just that the authorities were "suspecting" it). The authorities wouldn't even take a message to Friar Lawrence.

What is the Friars plan to help in scene 3?
I'm guessing this must be Act III Scene 3; if it is a different scene 3, you have only yourself to blame for being insufficiently specific. In this scene the friar counsels Romeo to go to Juliet and consummate their marriage, then flee to Mantua where he should live in exile "till we can find a time to blaze your marriage", although the Friar does not suggest what would change that would make that any more possible later as opposed to tomorrow morning. Waiting until the marriage is consummated makes sense; a consummated marriage cannot be annulled. Waiting after that is not really a plan at all, but it does have the merit of postponing the time when the friar will be obliged to reveal that he has performed this secret marriage. And since he is a coward and cannot foresee even the most obvious consequences of his actions, that is what he advises.
How does Shakespeare make Friar Lawerence such an important character in the play Romeo and Juliet?
Friar Laurence in Romeo and Juliet, appears to play a small role, because of his mere seven scenes. However, closer examination reveals that the Friar plays a fundamental role in the development of the story. He is a confidant to Romeo, moves the plot, and is instrumental to the tragedy at the end of the play. At the beginning of the play the reader learns that Friar Laurence and Romeo are close friends. After Romeo explains to the Friar his love for Juliet, he tells him that him and Juliet must marry to end the feud between the two families. Also, his plan to make Juliet sleep for 48 hours while Romeo comes and takes her away, failed. He is the reason behind Romeo and Juliets death. _NOUR SOLIMAN_

Nobody. Friar Lawrence says "I must up-fill this osier cage of ours". "You" and "I" are different words.
