This phrase is like saying 'I would be very happy if...' It makes your request sound very gentle. You are not telling someone what to do. You are just saying what would make you happy. This helps keep things polite in business.
This is much more formal than "〜ば幸いです". It shows more respect. "〜ば幸いです" is polite but not humble. "〜と幸甚に存じます" is even more formal. Use this one for most business writing.
Don't use this when you are talking. It sounds too stiff. For example, do not say this to your boss. This is for formal writing only. Think of business letters.
