You are preparing a first endorsement, the basic letter has 2 enclosures, you are adding 2 more enclosures, how should you stamp the enclosures?

• A. Encl (3) and Encl (4)
• B. Encl (2) and Encl (3)
• C. Encl (4) and Encl (5)
• D. Encl (1) and Encl (2)

Answer: (A)

When you add enclosures, you must keep a running count so the list of attachments is accurate and clear. Since the basic letter already shows two enclosures, adding two more means there are four in total. Label the new items with the next consecutive numbers, Encl (3) and Encl (4). This keeps the record consistent and lets the recipient verify that all four items are present. Using later numbers (like 4 and 5) would skip 3, and reusing 2 and 3 would misrepresent the total and cause confusion. So, stamping the new enclosures as Encl (3) and Encl (4) is the correct approach.
