Me /myself
I found this http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/grammar/british-grammar/pronouns/pronouns-reflexive-myself-themselves-etc
Is this correct? They say the usage is grammatically acceptable.
The National Trust is a charity depending on the support of people like yourself.

Hi It is correct, and for the reason the website gives: it's a polite form The structure of the sentence doesn't require it. If it were a more blunt and immediate message, 'you' might be used: - The army needs men like you However, your sentence is inviting people to donate to a charity, so the polite form is used Best regards, Dave
