This definitely sounds Indian to me Very Happy

I wonder how a native speaker would put it.

Hi rahulpayne,

Many thanks for your question. Since you are writing to one of your family members, I suggest to use the following sentence:
Dear "relative's name",

Please find my resume attached and let me know what you think.


Best regards,
Torsten

Yes; I think "do the needful" is normal in Indian English; but it would sound humorous in BrE. "Do whatever is necessary" is one alternative.
