Is ARE there any mistakes? What's the difference between 'attached' and 'enclosed'?

'attached' means 'joined or fastened to something'. If you write a letter to this client, you might close by saying, "Also, please find attached my invoice for professional services."
This means that the invoice is included and attached to the last page of the main letter/documents by a paper clip or staple.

'enclosed' refers to what the receiver of the letter will find in the envelop. There may not be a letter, just the invoice, It is good business practice to have a slip of paper saying, "Please find enclosed my invoice for..." rather than just stuff the invoice into an envelop and post.

Thank you very much for your help.

Can I use " the " instead of "my" for that sentence?

" Please find enclosed the invoice for professional services charge."

Thanks

Definitely. I'm not sure why I put 'my' instead of your 'the'. 'the' is more professional than 'my'!
