Which of the following is correct? (This is to confirm the number of people for an event I am hosting with someone else.)

A. Until then, if you all could confirm your attendance [either] with John or myself [,] it'd be highly appreciated.

B. Until then, if you all could confirm your attendance with [either] John or me [,] it'd be highly appreciated.

C. Until then, if you all could confirm your attendance with [either] John or I [,] it'd be highly appreciated.

Do I need either, and a comma as well?

Best Answer

Some people do use the reflexive pronoun myself as in A, but it isn’t normally necessary. Me, as in B, is enough. The use of I, as in C, is frequently found, but many people don’t like it, so it’s best avoided if you think your readers will be among them.

Either isn't necessary, but a comma before it'd will help readers, because it shows the start of a new clause.
