Does "Pxx Lxx P/L" represent a company name? "c/o" means "care of". If you address a letter to Nancy Wong c/o <company name/address> then you're writing to Nancy Wong, who is contactable through that company at that address.

  • "c/o" means "care of".
  • If you address a letter to Nancy Wong c/o <company name/address> then you're writing to Nancy Wong, who is contactable through that company at that address.
  • If Nancy works for the company as a regular employee then you don't need "c/o".
  • You only need to use "c/o" when it's not Nancy's usual address, but whoever receives it at that address will be able to pass it on to Nancy.
