An item included with a letter is called what?

• A. Enclosure
• B. Interjection
• C. Subject
• D. Clarity

Answer: (A)

An item included with a letter is called an enclosure. This term is used in formal correspondence to indicate something placed in the same envelope as the letter, such as a contract, form, or report. You might see a note at the end like “Enclosures:” followed by the list of included documents. This is different from an interjection, which is a word used to express emotion; a subject, which is what the letter is about or its topic; and clarity, which refers to how easy the writing is to understand. In modern emails, the corresponding idea is typically called an attachment, but for mailed letters, enclosure is the traditional term.
