Important to Note:
* The specific types of letters that include enclosures can vary depending on the industry, purpose, and individual preferences.
* It's always a good idea to clearly state that there are enclosures in the letter itself, either at the bottom or after the salutation. For example: "Enclosed please find..." or "Please find the following enclosed..."
* You should clearly label the contents of each enclosure. For example: "Enclosure 1: Resume", "Enclosure 2: Contract".
Ultimately, whether a letter includes enclosures depends on the context and the information being conveyed.
