they don&rsquo;t interrupt your workflow.<\/p>\n<p>And, once you receive an email, you can respond whenever is convenient for you.<\/p>\n<p>Over and above, emails allow you to attach other documents and files to them, making it possible to relay more than just important information.<br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22295 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1.jpg\" alt=\"Please See Attached Alternatives\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1.jpg 924w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22295 size-full eager-load\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%201500'%3E%3Crect%20width='1000'%20height='1500'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Please See Attached Alternatives\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1.jpg 924w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Please-See-Attached-Alternatives-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"more-space\"><strong>19 alternative ways to say &ldquo;please see attached&rdquo;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Almost anyone who has worked in a professional setting has had to send an email with an attachment at one point or another (that&rsquo;s if you don&rsquo;t send email attachments every other hour).<\/p>\n<p>However, when you do send an email attachment, what do you write in the main body of your email?<\/p>\n<p>Do you say &ldquo;please see attached&rdquo;?<\/p>\n<p>Or, do you prefer the more formal &ldquo;kindly find attached&rdquo;?<\/p>\n<p>Back in the olden days, before we had email and when we had to send each other physical letters instead, people tended to write &ldquo;Enclosed please find my (file\/ document\/ take your pick)&rdquo; anytime they sent a document or other file with their letter.<\/p>\n<p>This might seem stilted to you, but everybody used the word &ldquo;enclosed&rdquo; because this was what they were taught in high school.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, most people today will opt for &ldquo;please see attached&rdquo; or &ldquo;please find attached&rdquo; given their simplicity and directness.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, both these options can still come across as a bit stuffy and redundant. This is not to mention that, in different contexts, you might want to use different phrases.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&rsquo;s take a look at alternative ways of saying &ldquo;Please see attached.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>You can use the following phrases when emailing a friend or close colleague; the phrases are informal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>1.

Telling them that &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve attached (whatever)&rdquo; acts as a signal that prepares them for the coming attachment.<\/p>\n<p>That said, just because this phrase works when sending a surprise attachment doesn&rsquo;t mean that you can&rsquo;t use it when sending an expected attachment; it is perfectly fine to say &ldquo;As per our conversation the other day, I&rsquo;ve attached the company&rsquo;s financial statements.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s say that you wanted to send a helpful article to one of your business partners.

For instance, you can&rsquo;t use it if someone specifically asked for the file you are sending them.

automatically refers to the virtual space where the electronic mail belongs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also end this prompt with either a period or a colon, just like in the next example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear Jason,<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for reminding me about the product quote, and I apologize for the delay.<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attached here is the file requested:<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[file]<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sincerely,<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patrick<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Attached below is the requested file<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;Attached below is the requested file&rdquo; is simply the passive version of &ldquo;I have attached the requested file below.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sentence passivization works when the agent is unknown, irrelevant, or already implied in the context of the conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this prompt, you are doing away with the usage of &ldquo;I&rdquo; which is already implied and, therefore, irrelevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you may figure, this type of sentence construction is a practical choice especially when your job involves frequent and numerous email exchanges because it shortens your sentences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&rsquo;s how you might use &ldquo;Attached below is the requested file&rdquo; in context:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear Walter,<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am pleased to approve your request for an electronic copy of your COE.<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attached below is the requested file:<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[file]<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sincerely,<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoey Hernandez<\/span><\/i><br>\n&nbsp;<br>\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HR Associate<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>And that&rsquo;s it!
