Re is latin for "in the matter of".

As for your second question, im not entirely sure, but I think after Sir/Madam.

Im assuming this is email? Cause I dont think Re is entirely appropriate in a letter. Thats just me though! :smile:

Re: is perfectly acceptable in a letter. In fact, it's standard form.
