If you need to note enclosures in a letter, leave a double space under your signature and salutation, then write “Enclosure.” To signify that your letter has more than 1 document enclosed, use the plural, “Enclosures” followed by a colon and the number of documents.
An enclosure notation should always be located at the very end of the correspondence. In general, it will be three lines below your signature at the bottom. This way, readers are reminded to look for enclosures at a time that's suitable for them to check.
