How does one write P.S. (post scriptum) in Japanese?

Dictionary translates postscript as 追伸, but is that the compound one would use
at the end of a Japanese letter or e-mail?




Yes, it is. Other variants are `追`, and direct use of the English `P.S.`

The most common format is

> 追伸 xxxxxx

at the very end of the letter after name and date.

When handwriting, it is common to indent further lines to match the start of
the text, like so:

> 追伸 xxxxxxxx (line 1)  
>  xxxxxxxx (line 2)

These are more style guidelines than rules as sawa points out in the comments
