herewith

herewith
hereby, herewith
These two formal words are the strongest survivors of a group of words that also includes herein, hereof, hereto, heretofore, and hereunder, and even they are restricted to the contexts of legal and business correspondence or to humorous imitations of them: I hereby promise never to smoke again / Herewith I enclose a cheque to cover my subscription. The other words are mainly confined to legal language and are rapidly being forced out in the interests of plain English.
