2. What does FR stand for in emails?

For reference

In emails, FR may mean "for reference." Most often, you'll encounter this version of FR in work emails, in which a colleague has included some additional information or another recipient to ensure everyone's in the loop.

For example, if you and a colleague are discussing delays to a product rollout, your colleague may add a member of your business's marketing team to the email chain FR. That way, the marketing team won't be blindsided by the delay.

Example

I'm going to send this to Cindy FR, since she should know what we're doing

A man who has not been looped in FR
