I received a letter from a rabbi, in his capacity of leading a Jewish institution, that opened with

Dear _____, LAYT

I assume, given the context, that "LAYT" is some sort of Jewish blessing or honorific. What does it mean?

Kitzur.co.il has the entry

לאי"ט

standing for

לאורך ימים טובים

LAYT will be the transliteration into English.

Idiomatic Translation - "for a long and good life"

(I normally write LOY”T.)
