Porque at start of sentence

Would it be correct to use Porque at the start of a sentence....e.g. instead of

Como estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy.

Porque estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using porque, como and es que to express cause (subordinate causal clauses)"

Hola Dhruv,

it wouldn't be incorrect but it would sound "unnatural". The natural order is, first saying what happens and then saying why: ............. porque ...................

This is why in all the hints we are saying "Bear in mind the most normal/natural order in Spanish"

Saludos
