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 personal assistant (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
Yours sincerely
p.p. [signature of PA]
Name of Absent Person
