In D&D 4E can effects that come before the attack line, make an attack power legal to use?

Seems like a simple thing, but it got my whole group in an argument. It was over the Assassin level 3 encounter power "inescapable Shadow" which states Before the attack, teleport 5 squares to a square adjacent to the target of one of your assassin shrouds. I interpreted this as meaning that despite it being a melee attack, you could teleport five squares if you weren't adjacent to a target in the first place to reach an escaping opponent. One of the other players thinks that as it is a Melee attack, that you have to already be adjacent to the target and can then only use the teleport to get behind them or next to them. I need this argument to be over before my next session, please help.
