Let me(done)

Let me + (verb)

'Let me' is suggesting that you are asking for permission or an
opportunity to do something.

Here are some examples:

"Let me try and fix your car."
"Let me taste the soup before you add more spices."

 Let's not + (verb)

The word 'let's' is formed from the words 'let us.' Here you are
requesting that something not take place at this moment or that what
is happening needs to be contained or lessened.

Here are some examples:

Let's say that + (subject + verb)

'Let's' is a contraction for 'let us.' You are suggesting to someone
that you should both agree on what you will communicate to someone
else.

Here are some examples:

"Let's say that you love to fish."
"Let's say we found it."
"Let's say that we enjoy being with them."
"Let's say that we had a good time."
"Let's say that it's hard to decide."
