How to Say “Attached You Will Find” in German

By •
anbei finden Sie
The English phrase "attached you will find" is expressed in German as anbei finden Sie.
This phrase is used in professional emails or letters to inform the recipient that a document is included with the message.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of anbei (attached or enclosed), finden (find) and Sie (you, formal).

Which one should you use?

While anbei finden Sie is a standard way to state that something is attached, the phrase Im Anhang finden Sie (in the attachment you will find) serves as a more modern and slightly less stiff alternative.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

The phrase anbei finden Sie is a standard, formal way to direct a recipient to an attachment in professional correspondence. Other formal options include Im Anhang finden Sie and Als Anlage erhalten Sie.

How does it change in a sentence?

The verb finden is used in the present tense, but in the context of an email, it is used to express a future or immediate action.

Did you know?

  • The pronoun Sie originally developed from a demonstrative pronoun used to point things out, which is why it still appears in words like dieser and diese.
  • In German, the word Sie is capitalized only when used as a formal 'you' to distinguish it from the word sie, which can mean 'she' or 'they'.

    Dear Mr. Müller, attached you will find the report you requested. Sincerely, Your Name
