Guest  +  29171 Thu, 06 May 04 12:18 PM hello If I am authorised to sign a letter on someone else's behalf what do I write? (after my signature and before their name?) it should be some sort of abbreviation, something like p.s. can anyone help?? Guest Abbreviations

	Timbo  +  29416 Sun, 09 May 04 03:22 PM Hi Guest, The accepted practice (check your company policy) is to have the name of the person as usual. Sign the letter, then you write a small handwritten 'for' next to the undersigned (left side). This indicates that you have signed on there behalf. Be aware of what you are signing for, and if you are authorised to do so. It is important to find out your company policy on this matter, as any official correspondence is legally binding and therefore has certain ramifications if signed for, particularly on the behalf of others. Caveat emptor… Hope this helps, Tim Timbo Joined on Sun, Apr 11 2004 Somewhere over the rainbow Junior Member 88 I dont have a signature

	Timbo  +  29481 Mon, 10 May 04 01:18 PM Dear Guest, I am sorry if I went a little further than intended; it was not clear from the question that it was in a multiple choice question. However, it is a legal issue which I felt was necessary to mention, given that this is a public forum and some make take answers to be complete and not consider the ramifications. p.p. - This stands for the Latin «per pro» or «per procurationem». p.p. is used when someone signs a letter by authority or proxy because another person is not available.
