A PS, or postscript, is usually added at the end of an email or letter, after your sign-off and name. However, if you have a long email signature, you may want to include the PS before.
PS Placement ExampleThe following example shows what this might look like:
Hi Sam,
Just a quick reminder that your slides for Monday’s meeting are due tomorrow. Let me know if you need any extra time or support pulling them together.
Cheers, Taylor
PS: If it’s easier to drop them in the shared folder and shoot me a quick DM, that works too!

PPS means “post-postscript.” A postscript, or PS, is text that is added to the end of a letter. A PPS is added after the first PS.
You can continue this pattern—a PPPS would follow a PPS. However, if you find yourself with lots of postscripts, you may want to consider just writing a second letter or email.
If you’re having a hard time being concise and organizing your thoughts, tools like QuillBot’s Paraphrasing Tool are a great option to help convey your ideas clearly.
A postscript is text that is added after the main body of an email or letter. Postscript is often abbreviated as “PS” or “P.S.”
Either of these abbreviations is acceptable, especially because PS is usually used in more casual communications. Just try to be consistent across your emails and letters.
