Selves.
People who say or write selves unnecessarily - it's generally done because they think it makes them sound more businesslike. It doesn't; it makes them look stupid and ignorant.

"If you could send that to ourselves and we will process it. We'll then return it to yourselves for finalising" is a real sentence from an email I received recently.
