Is it correct to say the mail and attached refers?

No, "the mail and attached refers" is grammatically incorrect. Here's why:

* Subject-verb agreement: "Mail" and "attached" are both plural nouns, but "refers" is a singular verb. You need a plural verb to match the plural subject.

* Meaning: It's unclear what you're trying to say. "Refers" usually implies something pointing to something else.

Here are some ways to correct the phrase, depending on your intended meaning:

1. If you're referring to multiple attachments:

* "The mail and the attached documents refer..." (This assumes you're talking about documents or files that are attached to an email)

* "The mail and the attached files refer..."

2. If you're referring to a single attachment that refers to something else:

* "The mail and the attached [document/file] refer..."

3. If you're referring to the mail and attachments as a whole:

* "The mail, including the attachments, refers..."

Example:

"The mail, including the attachments, refers to the meeting schedule."

Always double-check your grammar and make sure your meaning is clear!
