srgause is correct it's PS, PPS...PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPS. ;)
In my experience, any current use of PPS, PPPS, etc. is usually made in a casual, humorous way, and that's how it should be taken, as well.
Why add extra Ps and not Ss? Because P.S. stands for "post-script" or "post scriptum" (Latin), meaning "after the script", so the extra "P" in P.P.S. means "AFTER the after-script".

You would first write "PS". If you add additional information after a PS, then you write "PPS". I wouldn't have anything after that- PPPS is too much. (PPS is almost too much also!)
example:
This is the end of my letter.
Sincerely,
Me
PS. Here is my PS message
PPS. Here is my PPS message

Hey Emily, ^^
I think if you have two notes; it's better to make 'em :
P.S. (what you want to say1)
P.P.S. (what you want to say2)
If your notes are more than two; you can choose N.B. (NB is "Not Bad or Nota Bene (Latin for please note) - ) or - what I do - Use it this way:
P.S.1 (what you want to say1)
P.S.2 (what you want to say2)
...........................................
P.S.7 .. etc
Keep it up,
Al Salam (gd bye in arabic) , ^^
