Most email applications will have a clear indication (e.g. a clip icon) when the email has attachments. So you don't really have to explain that. Instead, you can focus on describing what exactly is attached to the email. For example:
The attached file is the document that you requested.
The attachment is a draft Power Point presentation.
These can be used in formal and informal emails.

For informal emails you could use:
I've attached...
For more formal emails you could write:
Please find attached...
For a discussion of enclosed vs attached please see:
