"If any questions"???

How come I've seen people type/say this instead of the most formal and correct "if YOU HAVE any questions, please...."??????

Is this legit and correct?

THANKS IN ADVANCE:)

Is this legit and correct? We would need more context to understand exactly why someone said that. It is not a matter of formality, but further sentence structure may be involved in the context.

That just seems to be a sloppy contraction in informal spoken English. Such thing happen frequently and usually on an ad hoc basis in conversation. It has no pretensions of correct grammar structure, however.
