Difference between "enclosed" and "attached"

Dear Teacher,

Just tell me the difference between "enclosed" and "attached" in commercial letters. When should we use enclosed and attached?

Thank you,

Murli

enclosed means, inside an evelope, a body of text; e.g., Please find enclosed ...

attached means, separate, joined/added to, outside the envelope, stapled or paperclipped to the main page; e.g., Please find attached ...

With e-mail, use enclosed if the document is inside the body of the e-mail message, and use attached if the document is not inside the body - is added as an <attachment>.
