A real example

Shield Security Co.
The situation

A technician needs to send 6 photos of fire extinguishers after an inspection, with one note.

What they did
  1. He attached the 6 photos at once and typed the note.
The result

The photos arrived in one message, with the note on the first photo.

A made-up company, to show the idea. The numbers are rounded.
