Glad

Glad = (1) showing or causing joy and pleasure; especially made happy: ‘I am glad that they succeeded in their endeavor.’ (2) Eagerly disposed to act or to be of service: ‘glad to help’

To make a formal request, use would be grateful if (NOT glad): ‘We would be grateful if you could consider this matter at your earliest convenience.’

Glad (not used in front of a noun) = pleased and happy about something in particular: ‘I’m so glad your mother is feeling better.’
