"Whenever you have a chance please send it to me."

What does this mean?

Thanks!

It means "send it to me when you have/get the time". Nothing urgent.

For the second, time, Zoe, there is no need to write a new post to say thank you or to quote our replies back to us. Simply click the Like button on any posts you find helpful. It means that we don't have to open the thread again to read your new post and then find that it doesn't include any new information or an additional question.

On its own the sentence means "Please send me a "chance" when you get one".;-)
