I am writing a letter for my manager. I will close with Sincerely, Dr. Smith. Under his name I want to indicate that I wrote the letter on his behalf. How do I denote this please or is this even necessary? Thank you so much.

Hi, Cece

Dr. Smith may want this to be done in a particular way. It would be good to find out.

Sometimes, people do this:

XS:ce

(or)

XS/ce

(XS would be Dr. Smith's initials; ce would be yours.) Smile [:)]

Alternatively, you could use p.p. or per pro., which = 'per procurationem'. (This means 'by/through the agency of'.)

In this instance, you would sign it as follows:

       Yours sincerely

             p.p. Cece

       Dr X. Smith
