It's only appropriate to use 'would' in the first place.

We would very much appreciate it if you would/could

I think would you tell me the truth is correct.

You can use COULD when things/ations are uncertain to occur.....and WOULD when things/actions surely occur...like.....COULD is a past tense of CAN, which means someone may be able to do or not...while WOULD is the past tense of WILL which means something that is sure you can do.....

depends on what you want.  If you want to know if I am capable, then could would be appropriate, if you want to know if I am willing, then would is the question to ask, for an answer of whether or not I will
