Adjunto encontrará
/adxunto enkontɾaɾa/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'please find enclosed' can be expressed in Spanish as Adjunto encontrará.
This phrase is used in letters or emails to inform the recipient that a document is included. Depending on the context and your relationship with the recipient, you can use different variations such as Adjunto le remito (attached, I am sending you) or En el presente correo le envío adjunto (in this email, I am sending you an attachment).

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase Adjunto encontrará literally translates to 'Attached you will find'.

Which one should you use?

While Adjunto encontrará is a common way to say 'attached, you will find', you can also use Le adjunto to say 'I attach to you', which is a slightly more direct alternative.

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

Adjunto encontrará is highly formal and is appropriate for professional correspondence, such as business emails or official letters. For casual situations, you might use the informal phrase Te adjunto esto to say 'I am attaching this for you'.

How does it change in a sentence?

The word adjunto (attached) must agree in gender and number with the document being sent. For example, you should use Adjunta encontrará if the noun is feminine or Adjuntos encontrará if the nouns are plural. Additionally, the word adjunto is used for masculine words, while adjunta is used for feminine words.

Did you know?

  • The word adjunto can also function as a noun meaning 'assistant' or 'aide' in certain professional contexts. While it usually describes an attachment, it refers to a person who is 'joined' to a primary role or task.
  • In many Spanish-speaking business cultures, it is common to use the phrase Le hago entrega de instead of Adjunto encontrará. This translates to 'I make delivery to you of', which sounds more formal and ceremonial than the English 'please find enclosed'.
  • The word adjunto comes from the Latin adiūnctus, which shares a root with the English word 'adjunct'. This linguistic connection highlights how both languages use the concept of being 'joined' to something else.

  • Adjunto encontrará mi curriculum vitae.
    Attached, you will find my curriculum vitae.
