Definition
附上 is a fixed expression used in formal written Chinese (letters, emails, official documents) to introduce an attached item. It means 'I am enclosing' or 'please find enclosed' and is placed before the object being enclosed. In modern English correspondence, 'enclose' alone is more natural than 'herewith'. The expression is fixed; you cannot insert particles between 附 and 上 unless used as a separable verb (which is rare — in standard usage, 附上 is not separable).
f.e.
to enclose (in a letter or email)herewith
