How do I use herewith properly?

I've noticed that a number of letters that we get in at work from elderly gentlemen use herewith instead of 'please find enclosed' and I've concluded that I prefer it, but I'm wary of using it in case I make a mistake.

- Herewith this letter
- Please find herewith
- Herewith a [form]

I would prefer the second, but apparently all seem acceptable.

That's a lovely comic. If I'm getting the right angle on it, it seems to be about parental responsibility and not assuming the worst of people.

Also agreeing with >>5342, it sounds best at the end of the phrase, though all are correct I think.

What about please find enclosed herewith? However, that may make herewith redundant.

I think it's more about first impressions, and how you ought not to judge a person as "wrong" from them.

The yob at the start becoming a kindly grandfather to a pleasant girl who becomes a negligent mother, the smart girl who ends up working at... Wacdonalds, the "rude *****" who is simply too frightened to speak to strangers, the racist who was too weak minded to find happiness with his "paki" girl, the scary hooligan who was too ashamed of his tears to let people see his face.

I think with the Paki lass it looks more like their parents didn't want them together and his heart was broken.
