Obviously, the proper phrase is "Please contact me", however I noticed that when people refer to someone else and them, they sometimes use "Please contact X (e.g. Mr. Smith) or I" or "Please contact Mr. Smith or myself".
Is this correct? Or should we use "me" in each case?
Should be me.
Yeah, should be me. But if you're not writing it out, and just using it normal conversation than myself is fine.

No shit. But bad grammar and syntax are bad grammar and syntax.

Martinus starts a thread about "me", "myself", or "I"? Shocking. :o
