If it is not a problem or If that is not a problem
Good evening, dear EF community. I am confused a bit with a simple questionable form which I try to use in order to make a question.
E.g.
~ If it is not a problem please send the film
~ If that is not a problem.
~ If this is not a problem.
I am talking about an item that I want to send it to me.
What part of speech should I used in this (?) situation: pronoun "it" or demonstrative determiners "that" or "this" or others?
Kind regards
Danil

Danil I want to send it to me. Why do you want to send a package to yourself? "This problem" = the problem that we have and I am talking about right now.
