She may call you for vs She might call you

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'She may call you for' is a phrase that implies that she has the possibility or permission to call you for a specific reason. 'She might call you' suggests a lower probability or a more uncertain situation. The choice between them depends on the context and the level of certainty you want to convey.
