What does 'Enc;' or 'enclosure' indicate in a letter?

1. That the letter is confidential

2. That the letter contains multiple pages

3. That the resume is included with the letter

4. That additional documents will follow in a separate email

The correct answer is: That the resume is included with the letter

When the term 'Enc;' or 'enclosure' is included in a letter, it signifies that additional materials or documents are included with the correspondence. This often encompasses items such as a resume, report, or other relevant documents that complement the main message of the letter. By indicating an enclosure, the sender is informing the recipient of these supplementary materials, enabling the recipient to review or consider them alongside the letter itself. This practice is common in professional communication, particularly when sending applications or formal requests where additional context or information is necessary. It helps in organizing documents and ensures clarity for the recipient regarding what is included with the letter. The other options do not align with this meaning: confidentiality pertains to sensitive information and requires different terminology; multiple pages would typically be indicated separately; and documents sent via email would not be suggested through the enclosure notation in a printed letter.
