transmittal letter

transmittal letter. A nonsubstantive letter that establishes a record of delivery, such as a letter to a court clerk advising that a particular pleading is enclosed for filing. • Lawyers have traditionally opened transmittal letters with the phrase “Enclosed please find,” even though that phrasing has been widely condemned in business-writing handbooks since the late 19th century. A transmittal letter may properly begin with a range of openers as informal as “Here is” to the more formal “Enclosed is.” — Also termed cover letter.
