Carbon copy

cc: name - used to be the way to carbon copy someone on a letter. I was told by a fellow employee years ago to start using xc: name, with the xc meaning xerox copy due to not doing carbon copies anymore.

What is the correct and most currect format for copying someone on a letter? Is it

c: name

C: name

Thanks
