Please find enclosed my cover letter and my CV.

Hi,

let's have a look at the two sentences:

Please find enclosed my cover letter and my CV.
Please find my cover letter and my CV enclosed.

Which of them is correct? Or perhaps both?

Both are correct. English. Although it contains a lot of other important information, the basic purpose of a cover letter is to say that something is enclosed.

ReegisNow it has dawned on me that you may as well write your cover letter as an email and then write that you enclose your CV, which would make perfect sense.
Yes, that is a common process.
A CV is factual and detailed. It serves the purpose of giving your past work experience, education, and other information such as name, address, etc.
