Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT Mar 24, 2010: ¡OK! Gracias por el dato. Pienso que para futuras preguntas sería prudente indicar los países de origen y destino de los documentos. En cuestiones como la correspondencia, conocer el formato habitual de un país puede ayudar a descifrar enigmas como estos. ¡Saludos!
Estela Rámila (asker) Mar 24, 2010: Hola, el documento viene de una universidad de Birmigham. Se trata de las notas de una persona, y esto aparece en la carta que certifica que los documentos adjuntos son autenticos. gracias
Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT Mar 24, 2010: What is the origin of the document? What country does it come from?
Luisa Ramos, CT Mar 24, 2010: What is the certification for? The attached are true copies of... what? That SS/KY up there could be "Social Security, Kentucky"... or anything else.

Peer comment(s):

agree	Rick Henry : That was my thought too, although at least in US English correspondence, it's usually placed at the end of the document. 38 mins
	Thanks Rick. I think these abbreviations are usually preceded by "Our reference". Looks like they did not add "Our reference" this time.
agree	Luisa Ramos, CT : If US English correspondence only RE: is used (not "Your" not "Our"), and that after the recipient's address. Initials only at the end, after the signatures; right along with the CC, the Enc., etc. 2 hrs
	Thanks a million Luisa! >Confirmed. Doc comes from the UK. Cheers! >This is very interesting note Luisa. Thank you. I have asked the asker about the origin of the document just in case.
agree	eski 2 days 4 hrs
	¡Gracias mil!
