An enclosure is something that closes you in, like a pen or a cage.

Depending on the type of letter and delivery method, there are different ways to indicate attachments and enclosures. For instance, if sending a business letter by mail or courier, you can write “Enclosure(s)” or “Encl.” at the bottom of the letter, followed by a list of the enclosed documents or files.
If something is enclosed with a letter, the notation “Enclosure” is typed a double-space below the writer's initials and/or typist's initials. If more than one item is enclosed, the word is made plural and followed by the number of items (e.g., “Enclosures 2”).
The enclosure is typically mentioned at the end of the letter, after the closing, and is indicated by the word "Enclosure" or "Enclosures" followed by the number of documents included. For example, "Enclosure: 1 resume" or "Enclosures: 2 writing samples, 1 reference list."
