[General] as appended

[DANAU]

Hi,

In my work, I always need to attach emails as reference for the addressee.

The sentence below is how I (I will ?) usually write, pleaselet me know if it is acceptable.

The warehouse schedule has been finalised as appended.

I always end my sentence with “as appended” to tell thereaders that I have attached the relevant emails.

 

[tedmc]

The warehouse schedule has been finalised as appended.

On reading the above, the reader would be wondering what finalised as appended means. It is clearer to write:

The warehouse schedule has been finalised and is appended (herewith).

Hi tedmc,

Can I also rephrase to the sentence below.

"Please refer to appended warehouse schedule"

In my work, I always need to attach emails as reference for the addressee.

In that case, 'attached' is more natural than 'appended'.

Appended and attached are synonyms, though the former implies the document(s) is attached to the back of the letter/memo.

"Please refer to appended warehouse schedule"

This is a bit wordy. It is better to be short and precise in business communication.

It's an attachment. Nobody calls it appending. If you want to be clear, refer to "the attached" or "the attachment."

And also forget about "herewith."

For your information, appended and herewith (a bit dated I know) are widely used in Asian countries.
