Jonathan from California wrote to me last week asking and then answering his own question. I like it when readers are so efficient! Here is what Jonathan grappled with: Today I was looking for an answer to my question about the correctness of the term “please see attached,” but I. “Please find attached my resume.” While many job-seekers still rely on this traditional grammatical construction, it can come across as outdated to potential employers today. “Please find attached: my resume.” This alternate construction tries to get around the formality of the first choice by adding a colon to the mix.

When I was new to the job market and mailing out resumes (although I’m dating myself, I’ll admit that this was well before the days of email), I sent my carefully crafted cover letters with a note that read:Enclosed please find my resume.One such mailing resulted in an interview. There I was in the wood-paneled office of an immaculately groomed lawyer. While I waited anxiously in an oversized leather wingback chair, he sat at his desk clicking his pen top and scanning my resume and cover letter. He looked up suddenly and grinned, pointing at the letter. “I love it when people write ‘Enclosed please find my resume.’ I didn’t even know your resume was lost!”It was an embarrassing moment. I’d mimicked the business letter style I’d been taught in high school typing class, not to mention every other business letter I’d seen or received. But this interviewer pointed out just how inane and stuffy business-speak can be.

I never used enclosed please find again.These days, we’re more likely to want to call attention to attachments than items included with a mailed letter, but people still use please find attached all the time. Is this business writing holdover necessary? Get Grammarly Is there any reason to use please find attached?Nope! There’s no need for this phrase.

Please find attached is wordy jargon at its worst. It’s also a bit redundant to say that something is attached and then direct the recipient to please find it.Another oddity with attached please find is that it’s a command when it doesn’t need to be. The popular English language blog, puts it this way:There’s no need to boss around the other person to go about finding things, since the sentence is just communicating “I have attached a document for you”. In fact, it would be just plain weird to put this into another request form like Could you please find the document attached? Or I would be very grateful if you would find the document attached.

This underscores that please find attached is not much of a request at all. It is instead a set phrase in imperative form that does a not-very-requesty job. Is “please find attached” essential legal language?Attached please find reads like legalese, so you might wonder whether it’s necessary in a legal document. Writing expert says no.You see canned phrases like enclosed please find and as per all the time in letters. They’re high-sounding but low-performing. Your letters will be much clearer and more engaging without them. Is please find attached grammatically correct?Technically, there’s nothing wrong with saying something like “Please find the attached document.” Although find can mean to come upon something by searching for it (hence the smart-alec lawyer’s assertion that my resume must be lost), find also means to recognize or discover that something is present.

Because you want your recipient to discover what you’ve attached, please find works.But, for the reasons I just gave you above, you’re still better off avoiding it.
