Please let me know if both, or just one of the following two sentences is correct:

1. I would appreciate if you would send me your records.

-or-

2. I would appreciate it if you would send me your records.

The only difference being that the 2nd sentence includes the word "it".

Thank you

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".
