Attachments or enclosures?
When typing business letters to a constituant and you have attachment to the letter do you use the term attachments or enclosures. what are the rules for this?
Top answer
'Attachment' has become more commonplace because of email. When sending an email, it is an attachment that accompanies it. In the traditional letter, an attachment would usually be something thin which is stapled or attached by a paper clip.

- This could be an additional sheet or two of paper, or even a small pamphlet.
- If the object accompanying the letter is bigger (such as a free gift) or is put loosely into the same envelope as the letter, but not firmly attached, then it is an encloure (or, enclosed depending on how you phrase your letter).
