NO Lioness, I'm sorry I really disagree. You (ie One) should never sign someone else's name, whether it's a letter, document etc not for gain or for gain.
The accepted forms are:
yours sincerely
Jackie Grant - handwritten signature and then either 'pp' by his typed name OR
Joe Bloggs
Managing Director
(Dictated and signed in his absence) - below the sig block.
I have seen unsigned letters be sent out!
OR
Scan in an electronic signature of the person in question
OR
use a stamp
it is NOT acceptable to ask someone to sign (ie forge) someone else's name - EVER!
