When information that would usually be presented at the end of a sentence is presented at the start for emphatic effect/to give it prominence.
It gains audience attention, because it is an odd way of structuring information.
The examples Macmillan gives are:
"Honey, I love!" (end-focus/usual way would be "I love honey")
"To me, honey is nice. To you, it appears bland"
Also, it is a feature of written language moreso than speech...time to plan, etc.
Hope that helped.
