Signing a letter on someone's behalf
If you are signing a letter on behalf of the head of a company -- and using their letterhead -- do you sign their name followed by your initials in smaller writing? Or do you sign your own name and then put "on behalf of ____" [the letter writer]?
Thanks for your help.

Write the initials p.p. before your signature, which should be above the person's name for whom you are signing. The initials p.p. is Latin for per procurationem (per pro) and means the power is delegated to you to sign on that person's behalf and is used commonly in the business world. It is sometimes seen vice versa: p.p.
