Enclosures should be listed in what order?

• A. Only in the enclosure block
• B. In the body of the memo
• C. In both the enclosure and reference block of the same memorandum
• D. In the header

Answer: (C)

When a memo has attachments, you want readers to be able to find and verify what’s included no matter how the document is handled. Listing enclosures in both the enclosure block and the reference block provides that double confirmation: the enclosure block clearly states what is attached, while the reference block reinforces the connection between the memo and its supporting materials. This redundancy helps ensure nothing gets lost if the memo is separated from its papers, makes filing and cross-referencing easier, and supports accurate recordkeeping and distribution. Relying on a single location can lead to overlooked attachments and confusion about what accompanies the memo.
