| "Should you want to do that," I don't think so. |

| In a formal letter, you can write 'I should be grateful...'. in British English. |

| It can, but I don't like it much. |

| I'm confuzzled at the question. Arn't should and would completly two different meaning words? How can you then just change them and not change the meaning of the sentance. |

| I'm confuzzled at the question too. ;-) |

| "Should" suggests that the person's actions are expected but does not mean that that is what they do, say, feel, etc... It suggests obligation. "Would" means an action is a certainty. |
