enclosing
Forming a boundary
Enclosing means surrounding something or putting it inside something else.
A fence encloses a yard; a letter encloses a check when both go in the same envelope.
Please find the documents enclosing our proposal.
The word often appears in correspondence to indicate attachments: I'm enclosing a copy for your records.
