Bonsoir, Mlle Fifi! N.B. stands for "Nota Bene" (Latin for "note well"); P.S. stands for "Post Scriptum" (Postscript, or addition of a note, usually following a signature). When there are more N.B.s or P.S.s to the same document, letter, message, etc., they are usually numbered: N.B.1, N.B.2, etc. I hope this helps!

Thanks. (I first noticed it in a French email, so I mistakenly thought it was French).
