Esquire
It dates back to the days when a man who had no higher title was addressed that way. (They may have been in the service of a Knight.)
Now it simply sometimes replaces "Mr", being placed after a man's full name... possibly because the writer is unsure if the man should be addressed in a different way, such as The Very Reverend" or "Sir XXXXX XXXXX", because it is company policy, or nothing but showing off.
