Re: let me know when
Since this is a grammar forum, I'll confine my response to a comment on their structure and let you work out the possible meanings for yourself!
The subordinate clause of (A) is functionally ambiguous (potentially either nominal or adverbial), while that of (B) and (C) is nominal.
