The use of myself and other -self pronouns (reflexive pronouns) when they do not refer to the subjects of sentences is not appropriate in formal contexts. Write: The coach chose Sarah and me [not myself]. Yet another problem is the use of myself in sentences like these: On behalf of my wife and myself, I want to thank you for your support.My wife and myself are pleased to have participated, instead of My wife and I want to thank you for your support. In the second sentence myself, as an object, cannot form part of a compound subject. The writer should have used My wife and I are pleased to have participated.
