	MrPedantic  #373970  Sat, 02 Jun 07 01:35 PM p.p. or per pro. = "per procurationem". This means "by/through the agency of". The agent is the person who is signing the letter on someone else's behalf. Thus if a PA is signing on behalf of an absent person, the correct form is as follows:       Yours sincerely          p.p. [signature of PA]       Name of Absent Person Many people get this wrong. MrP    MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member (12,053) ...opella forensis / adducit febris...
