"Please find attached my resume..." "Please find the following..."
I was told that it is 'bad English' to start a correspondence or email with "Please find attached my resume / application for the position of xxxx" or "Please find in the following...."
Are they really grammatically wrong? How should we say it correctly then? "Please find my resume in the attachment.."?
I have also seen people saying "Attached is my resume / application ....", but that does not sound polite enough to me.
Thank you.

Hi, A letter or email that you send along with your resume is commonly referred to as 'a cover letter'. You can read books on how to write a good cover letter. However, in simple terms, you should say what you want, I am applying for the position of senior accountant Briefly say why the employer should consider you for the job: I have 10 years experience working as an accountant in responsible positions.

The employer won't be impressed if you have no capital at the start, no punctuation, and a spelling error.
0You simply say like this:
I am herewith submitting my Resume under attachment for your perusal.

0I am herewith submitting my Resume under attachment for your perusal.
I see no reason to capitalize 'resume'.
