Could you please find below details VS Please find below details [closed]
Solution 1:
Main focus of question: When using "please" to soften an imperative sentence, please alone is enough, in modern usage:
Please consult the owner's manual.
Adding "Could you" threatens to turn the sentence into a question, and makes what had been a distanced, generic recommendation into a personal request. Of course, if you are making a direct request, feel free:
Could you please look over the attached documents and get back to me?
Other issues with the example:
- It would be unlikely to use "attached" and "below" together in this way. "Attached" means additional documents delivered at the same time—perhaps literally "attached," i.e. stapled or paper-clipped, or else the term is extended to other pages included loose in the same envelope, or to email attachments. "Below" suggests that the information can be found on the same page and screen (for an email, meaning in the body of the email). Note that various email clients might display email attachments differently; the recipient might find them at the top for all you know.
- You probably want to switch the word order so that "attached" is not merely descriptive but locative: "You'll find the details attached."
- For similar reasons, as Yosef noted, the preposition below needs to come after the noun (and "attached," if it's also been moved after the noun): "You'll find the details attached below."
