The phrases "I must say" and "I have to say" are used to express something that came out to be different from your expectations, or when you feel you must say something that is better not been said.
The structure of the two phrases is stated in this way: I must say, (sentence).
I want to know if it can come in the following type of exclamatory sentences, where the speaker complement someone while being surprised by something that previously happened which led to both things: complementing and feeling surprised.
An example of that type:
Such a humble person, I have to say.
"I have to say" position is not as what is commonly known (which is at the beginning of the sentence), nor it makes sense to come at the beginning as the surprise is what the speaker usually encounters and expresses first.
Also, as the sentence shows wonder, it should take an exclamation mark. So, would it follow the first part like this (Such a humble person! I have to say.) or the second part although it doesn't really express wondering (Such a humble person, I have to say!) ?
