Where Does Postscript Go in Email?

Since a postscript is an addition that comes after a letter is completed, it should always follow the signature. Including a PS has long been a direct mail marketing strategy. Statistics once showed that as many as 79 percent of people who opened a direct mail letter would read the PS first.

How do you add a postscript to a letter?

Add more postscripts by adding a 'P' to “P.S.” The “post” in “postscript” is a Latin word meaning 'after' (“script” means 'writing' in Latin), and so when you add another 'P' to a “P.S.'”, you are creating an “after-after-writing” to form P.P.S.

How do you post a PS in a formal email?

You can in fact add a “PPS,” or “post-postscript” following your first “PS.” Just make sure that if you're doing so in an email, it should usually be for effect or for humor, since, as we've already explained, you could easily insert the information you've forgotten back in the body.
