Enclosures style letter methods, To send a letter without its enclosures is inefficient; to receive such a letter is annoying. It is the responsibility of the person who makes up the post to prevent this. He or she must have some means of knowing at a glance which letters need enclosures.
The following are the methods in use.
- Affix a coloured, usually red, adhesive “Enclosure” label to the letter in the top or bottom left-hand position.
- Type the word Enclosure, or an abbreviation of it, at the foot of the letter, with a figure indicating the number of enclosures, if there are more than one.
- Type a horizontal line, or a solidus (/), or a line of dots, in the left-hand margin immediately opposite the lines that mention the enclosure.
The three methods are illustrated in the up letters.
