Which is the correct conditional structure for respectfully offering something? [closed]
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
This seems like a pretty simple question, yet the longer I think about it, the more I become unsure of which one of the following is correct:
If you would find it helpful if I sent you anything, please do let me know.
Or:
If you would find it helpful if I send you anything, please do let me know.
I suppose this question is a product of English being an onerously polite language.
Which sentence is grammatically correct?

It has to be sent, but I think the sentence is overdone - why not if there's anything you'd like me to send you, just let me know?

Basically I agree with Minty, but if you want a minimal correction: If you would find it helpful for me to send you something, please let me know. // I'm pretty polite. I would say: Please let me know if you'd like me to submit any [additional] documentation.
