"As I have not heard back from yourself"...

"yourself" is reflexive and can only be done by that person.

- I wash myself
- You wash yourself

To "hear back from myself" is mad but correct. To "hear back from yourself" is just plain wrong.

People use this to sound clever but they end up sounding thick to those who know. 🙄
