An enclosure in a cover letter is a list of any additional documents you've included in your application. Typical enclosure documents include letters of recommendation, certificates, a portfolio, work samples, or written tests associated with the job application.
Under your name at the end of the letter, skip two lines. On the third line, write "Enclosure:" or "Enclosures:" if there are multiple documents. Skip a line after "Enclosures:" and then begin your list of enclosures. Put each enclosed document title on its own line.
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”).
Formally, you would refer to the enclosed items in the body of your letter followed by (enclosed) and then, under the signature at the end of the letter you'd write "Enclosures (x)" where x is the number of enclosures.

Write or type “Enclosure” followed by the name of the document or content attached. If you've included more than one document, use the plural “Enclosures” and indicate the number of enclosures afterward. The number should either follow a colon or be surrounded in parentheses.
