Going to back to the example from above, the one where you were sending your friend the presentation for tomorrow, you could send them the following email: However, if you do want to write something in your email, you still don’t have to point out the fact that you’ve attached a file, especially if the other person is expecting you to send them said file. You see, we are all used to receiving important attachments via email, so it never comes as a surprise when we receive a blank email that is nothing more than a conduit for the “enclosed” attachment. Take a look at the attached proposal it is an amended version where all the issues we discussed have been ironed out.”Īt the far end of the informality spectrum, the place where your closest friends live, you can just send a blank email with the attachment, and they will get it. Yesterday, we went over some of the problems with the business proposal. Let’s say that you wanted your colleague’s input on your latest draft of a business proposal. Interestingly, “take a look at the attached …” can be made more formal if you add a please at the beginning, giving you “please take a look at the attached …” The same thing applies to “take a look at the attached (file/ document/ anything else).” You can use it with friends, and it signals that you are expecting their feedback in some way. Unless you’re friends with the most proper people on the planet (in which case, why?), you probably just say “check this out.” And, when you do say that, you are, more often than not, waiting for a response of sorts. Whenever you’re out with a friend and you want to show them something, do you tell them “please check this out” or do you just go for the direct “check this out”? You could attach the presentation to an email, and the email will read as follows: Let’s say your friend at work asked you to send them the presentation you were doing tomorrow together. In other words, the entire email body can be made up of this phrase and only this phrase. However, this phrase is best used when the main reason you are sending the email is to send the attachment. Using “Here is …” is a perfect case in point. When being informal, you don’t have to worry about highfalutin language or even using the word please instead, you can be direct and to the point. You can use the following phrases when emailing a friend or close colleague the phrases are informal. So, let’s take a look at alternative ways of saying “Please see attached.” This is not to mention that, in different contexts, you might want to use different phrases. Yet, both these options can still come across as a bit stuffy and redundant. This might seem stilted to you, but everybody used the word “enclosed” because this was what they were taught in high school.Īlternatively, most people today will opt for “please see attached” or “please find attached” given their simplicity and directness. Or, do you prefer the more formal “kindly find attached”?īack in the olden days, before we had email and when we had to send each other physical letters instead, people tended to write “Enclosed please find my (file/ document/ take your pick)” anytime they sent a document or other file with their letter. However, when you do send an email attachment, what do you write in the main body of your email?
