Hi,

1). kindly find attached the photos.

2). kinldy find the attached  photos.

I'm inclined to choose A. I never write it myself, but I've seen this expression so often that it seems OK to me, although perhaps I've allowed myself to be corrupted by business jargon. I see attached as more adverbial, relating to find, than adjectival relating to photos. 

It's an odd expression, really. When you think about it, it should usually be 'included' rather than 'attached', shouldn't it? If something is 'attached', it seems almost insulting to imply that I may overlook it.

Best wishes, Clive

Both of "kindly find the attached X" and "kindly find attached the X" are rather new to me. "please find attached (PFA) the X" is a collocation quite familiar to me. People are using the phrase to mean "the X is attached to this e-mail".

I would have to see it in context.  At the least, change it to the plural, environments.
