See, error is in order of the pronoun. If pronouns of different persons are to be used together in a sentence, the serial order of persons should be second person and then third person.
Me and My colleague is incorrect grammar.
Me cannot be used as the subject. Me is an objective case of I which should be used as an object. I is nominative case and it should be used as the subject.
can't we say 'me and my colleague' instead of 'my colleague and I'.
