I would appreciate it if you would send me your records.
When "appreciate" means "to thank or be grateful for something", it must be followed by "it" or "impersonal nouns" but not "personal nouns or pronouns" with an "if-clause".
E.g. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and would appreciate it if you could treat this matter as urgent.
And you can not say " I would appreciate him/her if he/she could help. Again, Not a teacher.
