Business writing, me/myself/I, pronouns
Which is correct?
 |
If you have any questions, please call Peggy or ________.
a. me |
Answer: A (me)
The easy way to decide whether to use me or I when you refer to yourself and another person is to take the other person out of the equation. (You would never say “Please call I.”)
Why not myself? The only proper way to refer to yourself as yourself is reflexively, to say something like: “I distinguish myself from lesser writers by always choosing the correct pronoun.”
