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”).
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.
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.
If you've included an additional document to your letter or email, place an enclosure notation beneath your signature. Write or type “Enclosure” followed by the name of the document or content attached.
An enclosure is something that closes you in, like a pen or a cage. When a cobra disappeared from an enclosure at the Bronx Zoo, the entire Reptile House had to be shut down until the snake was found. An enclosure can also be something that's included in an envelope with a cover letter of some sort.
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.
Note the enclosure underneath your signature You can write out the word "enclosure" entirely, or you can use abbreviations like "Enc." or "Encl." You can choose which abbreviation you want to use, but try to remain consistent if you regularly send letters with enclosures to one organization.
On a paper business letter, you often include the CC line underneath your signature, either above or below any enclosures line. Here are the various abbreviations you can use to note carbon copy on printed business letters: cc: c.c.
