Pleonasms! The following text contains 6 examples:

Dear John,

You have been invited to the president's birthday, please RSVP by post.

Attached you'll also find a PIN number. It's part of a free gift; true fact! Just use it on any ATM machine.

Best, Tim

PS: could you please bring some chai tea?

PS: PLEONASM sounds like a Spoonerism.

Yep :)
