    ]Welcome to the forum, Niki.

    We need more context. All of the following sentences are fine:

    I will be very pleasant to your parents when they come.
    I would be very pleasant to your parents if they accepted me.
    I will/would be very pleased to see you this evening
    .

    Please try to give your threads a useful title. 'Will/would be pleasant?' would have been more useful for this one.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your help.
    Of course it is better to write a full sentence.
    I'd like to say...

    If you have interest in our products I will be very pleasant to send to you samples.

    So, how is it?

    Have a look again at the examples in my previous post.

    Thank you!
    Do you think in this case "pleased" is suitable word or "glad", and "happy" sounds better?

    I don't see much difference in that context.

    You can also say "It will be my pleasure to send you some samples." That might be the most professional choice.

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
