The words myself and yourself are increasingly being abused -- or at least misused.
Broadcasters and journalists are frequently using myself when they mean me or I. Myself should be used when there is a reflexive meaning or emphasis is intended. Using myself unnecessarily weakens its meaning. Its only merit is that it spares the writer from the need to decide whether I or me is correct.
As for yourself, this, in conjunction with myself, can lead to some silly consequences. All too many business letters end with sentences such as
"We have prepared this quotation for yourself. Please do not hesitate to contact myself if you have any questions."
Two impossibilities in so few words! What is wrong with you and me?
