How do I say the following sentence: “please find attached herewith my resume”?
It sounds turgid and looks like some thing taken from 'A guide book to officealese'.‘I have added my resume as an attachment'Is cleaner. Or simply--I have attached my resume.
Should a question start with "can you please" or "could you please"? If both are correct, what is the difference between them?
Just today I answered another question that is pretty much similar. It actually comes down to the definition of can and could. Can you hand me the cheese please? -> Yes it's physically possible, but no I won't hand it to you.Could you hand me the cheese please? -> Well, yeah I could, if it weren't taken by Jenny I would have given it to you.Could is more polite because it considers it's environment, where can doesn't care too much.Here's what I wrote:Can says something about the physical ability, where could says something about the physical ability were the conditions to be exactly right - hypothetically spoken.I'm rich, I can buy a muscle car. vs. If I would be rich, I could buy a muscle car.The fact that could comes with conditions, makes that can comes with assumptions, frankly spoken. And so you may say that could would be a more polite option than can. At least it leaves room for exceptions, or in case of questions, it gives the person who answers the opportunity to dodge agreeing.Take a look at this:In case of a statementYou can do that differently - I see what you're doing, I understand the situation, and it's total bullocks.You could do that differently -I don't know the exact circumstances, and maybe my judgement isn't all that accurate, but it looks like that what you're doing isn't exactly the best way.In case of a questionCan you help me? - Yes, I can. (No I can't) Could you help me? - Well, I would but I am slightly occupied at the moment.Could could be used to soften your speech, leaving room for error in your words, or to express that you're not exactly an expert or doesn't have the full overview over a situation. It also leaves room for others to add in conditions, e.g. in the form of a suggestion. Can on the other hand can be used when discussion is out of the question. Are you about to pontificate? Do you know what you talk about? Is there no other valid option? Don't you care for other's input? Can can be your go-to word!

Which is correct: “See the attached picture” or “See attached picture”?
“See the attached picture” is more conversational, and is probably closer to correct English.Common vernacular use of “See attached picture” in emails (especially in a work environment) is probably fine, just a little curt.
