>>Use of these is getting worse. Some examples, not from real life, but typical of what I've experienced/heard a lot lately:
>>
>>"Hi Mr McDonnell. I was wondering if our offer has reached yourself yet."
>>"Could you manage to make payment to ourselves by the end of the week."
>>"We're sending the order to yourselves direct."
>>"There's just myself and yourself here."

>I learnt to always mention myself last, so it should be "There's just yourself and myself here."
