Let's say I'm writing a letter to a university and my mail has an application form attached to it. How can I say it in a more formal and concise way than "Please see the attached application form that I filled up." or "Please find attached my filled-up application form."

I would appreciate it if the answer starts with "Please see..." or "Please find attached..." Thank you!

    "... my completed application form." (As an aside: for forms, BrE uses filled in; AmE uses *filled out*. Baths are filled up**.) – Andrew Leach Nov 07 '13 at 07:37
  • Thanks Andrew! But, doesn't it sound like the application form is my possession and therefore not for them? This is why I'm hoping for a better rewording for "Please find attached my filled-up application form." – damat-perdigannat Nov 07 '13 at 07:42
  • "Please find attached my completed application form." You have attached it; it is in their possession. Even "Please see my completed application form" implies it's attached, or how could they see it? [I think find attached is better: it tells them explicitly where it is.] – Andrew Leach Nov 07 '13 at 07:59

    @bimboxX If the form isn't actually attached it is perfectly alright to say 'Please find enclosed (herewith) my completed application form.' 'Herewith' is not essential. – WS2 Nov 07 '13 at 10:11

Any of the following are acceptable:

Please see my completed application form.

Please find attached my completed application form.

Please see the attached application.
