Hi Jesus,

Apart from some spelling errors, the key learning here is the English use of "Appreciate". We most commonly use the conditional tense when using "Appreciate" in the future form, which can be a little confusing.

You will almost never hear someone say "I WILL really appreciate it if...".

Instead we say, "I WOULD really appreciate it if...".

The "if" signifies that whatever you are proposing may or may not occur, therefore changing the tense to the conditional (i.e. "Would"). "Would" also softens the tone, and makes your request seem more polite and less demanding.

It would be correct to use "Will" in a situation like...

"I will really appreciate it when..."
The "When" indicates that the event is more likely to happen/a certainty.
