'per procurationem' (p.p.) is from Latin and means 'for and on behalf of'. It is used when you are signing the letter on somebody else's behalf; if they are not there to sign it themselves, etc).
You put "p.p." in front of the name of the person for whom you are writing the letter
Thus:
(signed)
A.N. Other [<-- your name]
p.p. Sam Body-Else [<-- your boss's name]

The letters pp at the END of a LETTER, - usually, a piece of "BUSINESS" correspondence, - stand for the Latin phrase "PER PRO", which translates as "FOR, - AND ON BEHALF OF"!

Its something in latin, but if you type a letter for someone, and they say for you to sign it for them, you put pp........then your name.

p.p refers to per procurationem (by agency), a Latin phrase meaning that you are signing the letter on somebody else's behalf
