Correct or not no. 19 - let me not?

Dear All,

Is this sentence OK?

She might let you not do it.

Thanks

It depends what you mean by ' OK' . It's grammatically correct, but I'm struggling to find a context where it might be preferable to 'She might allow you not to do it'. Rover

Thanks, What I meant by "OK" is whether a native speaker would say a sentence like that.
