Say this instead of 'please find attached'

"Think about how many emails you receive each day. Then how many of those include the phrase "please find attached" in the body. One X user has made a plea to retire the phrase, a relic leftover from a time when business communication relied on typewritten letters posted in envelopes, which actually included attached documents to be found. The post quickly went viral, gaining nearly 15 million views since it was posted earlier this week."

"While the user doesn't elaborate why exactly they personally take issue with the phrase, or what to say instead, the post had the desired effect, with many weighing in with their own takes on modern email etiquette. Some agreed that the phrase is stuffy and outdated. "'Please find attached' adds zero information, sounds robotic, and does not respect the reader's time," one wrote. "'Here's the file' does the job better than a sentence that adds zero information," another added."

Many emails still include the phrase 'please find attached' despite attachments being instantly accessible and clearly marked. One X user urged retiring the phrase as a relic from typewritten letters and envelopes. The post went viral, gaining nearly 15 million views. The user did not explain personal objections or alternative wording, but the post prompted widespread commentary on modern email etiquette. Some respondents called the phrase stuffy, robotic, and time-wasting, recommending concise alternatives like 'Here's the file.' Others defended the traditional phrasing. Younger workers freely use memes, emojis, slang, and AI-assisted drafting while the phrase persists.
