pp
"Per Procurationem." It is a Latin phrase meaning that you are signing the letter on somebody else's behalf, normally if they are not there to sign it themselves.
"PP" in a letter signature stands for "per procurationem," which means "on behalf of" or "by delegation of authority." It indicates that the person signing the letter is doing so on behalf of someone else.
You sign your name as you can't be "on behalf of" if you sign someone elses name! But the 'pp' precedes the person you are signing for. For example: Yours sincerely Your signature pp Name of person signed for Yes, you sing your name. But the pp precedes your signature, not the name of the person you are signing on behalf of. Although not everyone agrees! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procuration kirubakaran
pp...it's an abbreviation for the Latin "per procurationem". it is used by any proxy when signing a document on behalf of somebody else. though..many say it comes from "proxima persona" :) (false, i guess :)) )
"PP" in a letter stands for "per procurationem," which is a Latin phrase meaning "through the agency of." It is used when someone signs a letter on behalf of someone else.
I wonder if the letters are in fact pp which stand for Latin pro persona and mean for the person of or for and on behalf of. Secretaries and personal assistants often use this when signing letters on behalf of their boss.
In the English-speaking countries pp stands for pro persona -which is Latin and literally means for the person [of] or for and on behalf of.No, it doesn't - it stands for 'per procurationem', meaning to act as someone's proxy.
Procurationem is the accusative singular of the noun Procuratio, meaning the office of Procurator - ie an Agent in the legal sense - someone who acts on behalf of someone else. It is used after the preposition Per (which requires the accusative), meaning "with" or "through". The entire phrase therefore means (when signing a document PP or "Per Procurationem"), "acting through the office of procurator" or, in more ordinary language, "acting as agent" [for the person on behalf of whom you are signing]
It normally precedes the name of the sender and means per procurationem or on behalf of. It would be used if the letter was signed by a secretary or assistant and not the person in whose name the letter was sent. eg signed: Molly Smith pp the Branch Manager
Yes, forging a signature without authority is illegal and can be considered a criminal offense. It is important to obtain proper consent before using someone else's signature for any document or agreement.
