*P*ost = After

What do you think?

Personally I wouldn't put one in a professional letter.

This is a vexing question. Ordinarily, a postscript is used to add something
that you think of after the letter has been written or typed (and possibly
signed). In the days when every correction meant that a letter had to be
rewritten or retyped from scratch, this was a convenience. Now, when it is
easy to change the text ad infinitum and reprint a letter at the press of a
key, postscripts don't make much sense, but there is still a need for them.
They can be used to create a less formal or even breezy tone or (and this
can be important) to highlight information that might be buried in the body
of a lengthy letter. A P.S. that begins "Don't forget to..." or "Be sure
to..." can be more effective than the same information in the body of the
letter.

I don't disagree but I don't think it's very professional. It's the sort of
thing you see in junk mail all the time.

If by "professional" you mean "businesslike," then I suppose I would have to
agree, but even professionals write less formal letters.
