Agreed. But the question remains. Does the PM in his capacity of the EU member have the authority to vote no / veto the request contained in his own unsigned letter? I would say yes.

Explicitly No. Section 4 of Article 50 is specifically about that point ("... the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it.")
