me or I?

0I believe the following sentence is correct since "John or me" is an object within a phrase:02br
02br
00"If you would like John or me to review the document, please let us know."02br
02br

00"If you would like John or I to review the document, please let us know."02br
02br
00Thanks for any feedback.0-
