Please find enclosed

0Hello,02br
02br
00Now that most correspondence is done electronically, is it still correct or sensible to say:02br
02br
01i00Please find enclosed my resume/invoice/proposal… etc02i02br
02br
00or is it more appropriate to use “attached”02br
02br
01i00Please find attached my resume…etc02i02br
02br
00since in emails you talk about “an attachment” and not “an enclosure”.02br
02br
00Thanks in advance for your comments and opinions.0-
