I'm recently in the unfamiliar position of scheduling meetings on behalf of my colleagues and keep stumbling over this one. Which is correct?

'Hi James,

Jane has asked me to get in touch to schedule a meeting for you, she and John next Thursday'

'Hi James,

Jane has asked me to get in touch to schedule a meeting for you, her and John next Thursday'

The second one sounds wrong, can anyone confirm?

It sometimes makes it easier to get the grammar right if you just deconstruct the sentence. You (probably) wouldn’t say ‘Jane wants me to schedule a meeting for she’.

Hi John and James

Jane would like to meet with you both next week.

Which of these days and times suit?

She can do Monday at 2pm or Thursday at 3pm
