i will contact you vs I may contact you

Both phrases are correct, but they convey different levels of certainty. 'I will contact you' indicates a definite intention to get in touch, while 'I may contact you' suggests a possibility or likelihood without a firm commitment. The choice between them depends on the speaker's certainty about reaching out.
