Hi

I saw this sentence in an email. would you please tell me whether its wrong or not?

"Please find out attached file"

I think it is better to say find instead of find out

Thanks

You are correct; 'find out' is wrong.

"Please find out attached file"

Is this sentence okay if out is deleted? I would say, "Please find the attached file," "Please find the attachment file," or "Please find the attachment." Are these three correct?
