it's a pleasure FOR me or it's a pleasure TO me (to help you)

Could you, please, help me with the preposition in the sentence - it's a pleasure FOR me or it's a pleasure TO me (to help you)

Could you no comma here please no comma here help me with the correct preposition in the following sentence?

1. It's a pleasure FOR me to help you. or
2. It's a pleasure TO me to help you.

Note my corrections above and my improved layout of your question.

Only sentence 2 is correct (in BrE at least).
Edited later once colleagues pointed out my mixup. Only sentence 1 works.

I disagree. I would use only for.

I'll guess that you mean It's my pleasure, which is a way to respond to someone thanking you for something. It's like saying 'You're welcome', and you don't need any preposition for this.

However, if you want to say something about how pleasant an experience was for you, you can use 'for': It was a pleasure for me. This says something about how much you enjoyed an experience and that you got something out of it.

Now it's clear. Much appreciated. Thank you

))) but...what do you think about this sentence that is an example in one dictionary in the entry for the word "pleasure"?:
"It will be a pleasure to me to accompany you".

I think it is a very unfortunate choice of citation. Which dictionary did you find it in?
