Agenda item in a letter one's put in post (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appointee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one's put in post' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'agenda item in a letter' is the wordplay.
'agenda item' becomes 'point' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'letter' becomes 'pee' (the letter P).
'a'+'pee'='apee'
'point' going into 'apee' is 'APPOINTEE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for appointee that I've seen before include "Chap getting post" , "One assigned to a post" , "has been given a role" , "Job-holder" , "chosen candidate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
