I agree with you.

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

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.
