Cc at the end of a letter?

"Carbon Copies" It means other recipients of a letter (Ie. other people you will send this letter to)

Dear Frank,

Nothing

Sincerely,
Jon

cc: Tom, Mike

This letter would be sent to Frank, and copied to Tom and Mike.

and what is Bcc, hitch? I often see it in emails.

I mean when you're writing an email, usually you can see:

To: ...
Subject: ...
Cc: ...
Bcc: ...

I know Cc stands for Carbon copy. But what does Bcc stand for?

Blind Carbon Copy - Don't let anyone know I sent it to these people aswell!.

to: Jon
cc: Carol
bcc: Spy, Spy2

Jon will receive the email, and see that Carol received it too

BCC is short for blind carbon copy ---- a copy of an e-mail message sent to a recipient without the recipient's address appearing in the message. Most e-mail clients include two fields labeled cc and bcc.
