Would It be "Mir eine Email schicken"? or perhaps "Schick mir eine Email" or "Schicken Sie mir eine Email"? How would you say "contact me"?

I'm sorry, spidermanjamal, but your answer is definately wrong. The german word "Email" is feminine, so at the very least it would have to be "schicken sie mir eine email."

I suspected that you typed the phrase into an online translator, which naturally interprets the phrase as command form. A quick check to Babelfish confirms that it translates it as "Schicken Sie mir ein email." (With incorrect gender and no capitalization of "Email"). Thanks for your enthusiasm, but you are wrong. This is a question for a knowledgeable native speaker of the German language (or an advanced learner thereof).

If it's e.g. the website of a firm and you want to address the people formal, then use "Schicken Sie mir eine E-Mail" or "Schreiben Sie mir eine E-Mail" (Write me an email).

If the website is a private one or made for children, then use "Schick mir eine E-Mail" or "Schreib mir eine E-Mail".

You could also use "Mir eine E-Mail schicken", but I would not use it. It's rather informal and does not address the people that much, because it just describes a process of sending a mail.

If you put in on a button on a website you can use just "Mail" or "E-Mail" or "Email"
Schick mir ein(e) Email is correct for people you address with first name
Schicken Sie mir ein(e) Email is correct for people you don't address with first name (someone you would address as Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. in English when talking to him). If your website is not made only for younger people I would use "Schicken Sie...."
"contact me" would be "kontaktiere mich" or "kontaktieren Sie mich" on a button you can also put "Kontakt" only.
"E-Mail" or "Email" can be fem. or neuter in gender - source:

"Duden - Die deutsche Rechtschreibung" which is THE source when in doubt.

No, German sauerkraut is going onto any ecu dishes (besides swiss chocolate and sweedish meatballs) check out it on french fries it is a lot more obliging. If you set it on Italian pasta it is adequate to start with however then it dissagrees with you.
