Normal convention would make ‘ph’ the person who prepared the letter. The word attachment simply alerts you to their being an attachment (sometimes they say Encl. to indicate that there is something enclosed in the envelope), in this case the DGA’s memo referred to.
That’s what I was taught waaaaaaaay back when I was 13 and took a terms typing class. On a typewriter. With a ribbon. No golf ball or electricity in sight. Carbon paper and correcting paper. Shit I feel old.
All cool. I just didn’t assume you would want to know who the actual typist was. Assuming it wasn’t, you know, prepared using dictation software or handwriting to text systems or some such (hence the generic prepared, which covers typing). Staples! Modern invention. Nothing wrong with a carefully bent peice of wire or a pin thank you very much.
I was talking to a colleague yesterday who said he’d never seen any Star Trek. That might be why I’m feeling especially ancient right now. That and my knees.
Is it a requirement that his toadies speak Trumpese?

I bet I’m older.
Yes. I know all that.
ph typed the letter.
‘Attachment’ once meant that there was something else in the envelope; often actually *stapled* to the letter.

Your colleague who has “never seen any Star Trek” should be carefully watched. They are probably an alien.
