I will appreciate your help.

I would appreciate your help.

What are the possible difference between these sentences? Does the second version sounds more polite?


Thank you.


Best wishes,

Success - it is not the position where you are standing, but which direction you are going.

would is the standard in this expression.  will sounds way too cold.  I wouldn't use will.  So yes, the second version sounds more polite.

Yes, indeed.  You have to remember that Miss S gets upset if you call on her more than once in each clause!
