Please find enclosed

Hello,

Now that most correspondence is done electronically, is it still correct or sensible to say:

Please find enclosed my resume/invoice/proposal… etc

or is it more appropriate to use “attached”

Please find attached my resume…etc

since in emails you talk about “an attachment” and not “an enclosure”.

Thanks in advance for your comments and opinions.

I say "attached" for e-mails and "enclosed" for regular mail.

I've seen both 'attached' and 'enclosed' used for regular mail.

If it is regular mail then attached would mean something attached to the letter (with a staple for example) and enclosed would mean in the same envelope but not attached to the letter.

I agree with you.
