If you look for "per se" (the correct spelling) in these forums, you'll find a lot of information on that one.

"Per your request" just means "As you requested."

Per your request, I have reserved a room for you the nights of May 23 and 24."

Also, does per itself mean: each or each of?

what about perhaps, performance, percent, perfect... Do they have something in common?
