Original endings for prepositions in Persian
There is a sentence in Persian:
پست‌‌چی برایم نامه آورد.
The question is why we use ending م in the preposition برایم , which means "for me". Is it the same as for conjugating the verbs such as:
من اورم
تو اوری
او اورد ?
Or is it mergering the two words برای + من ?
How can be written the preposition "for him"? Is it براید or برایش ?

It is called possessive endings. These are the endings for pronouns used in possessive as well as objective cases.
my=> (am) ــَــ ــم (as in: کتابم)
your(one person)=> (at) ــَــ ــت (as in: کتابت)
his,her=> (aš) ــَــ ــش (as in: کتابش)
our=> (amān) ــَــ ــمان (as in: کتابمان)
your(plural)=> (atān) ــَــ ــتان (as in: کتابتان)
their=> (ašān) ــَــ ــشان (as in: کتابشان)
For example, you can say the phrase "my book" :
کتاب من or کتابم
both of them are correct.
Note that you can use possessive endings with both verbs or nouns.
With verbs, these endings are used in objective case. For example:
دیدش => او را دید
With nouns, they are used to construct possessive case, as in:
دفترش=> دفتر او
