Almost exclusively confined to formal letters, legal filings, and corporate correspondence. Frequently appears in fixed phrases like 'please find herewith', 'attached herewith', and 'enclosed herewith'. In modern email, 'attached' or 'enclosed' alone is preferred.

❌I am sending herewith you the report.
✅I am sending you the report herewith.
💡'herewith' modifies the verb and cannot split a verb from its indirect object.
❌Can you herewith the photos?
✅Please find the photos attached herewith.
💡'herewith' is an adverb, never a verb.

    describes a result; 'herewith' marks the immediate act itself

文法句型

subject + herewith + verb

用法筆記

Distinct from sense 1 (ENCLOSED): here the adverb does not point at a physical attachment but signals that the speech act itself does the deed. Common in resolutions, affidavits, decrees, and ceremonial writing. Synonymous with 'hereby' in this sense, and 'hereby' is the modern choice in nearly every context.

常見錯誤

❌I herewith call you yesterday.
✅I hereby called you yesterday.' (Neither is natural
💡but 'herewith' / 'hereby' only mark a present, immediate act.) — these adverbs cannot describe past or future events.
❌Herewith I think we should leave.
✅I therefore think we should leave.
💡'herewith' is not a casual sentence connector; it marks a formal performative act.
