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.
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.
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.
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”).
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.
