Fill in the parameters of the "Run" action.
Fill in the parameters of the "Select message" action.
In the Folder option, select the folder that will contain the email in the mailbox.

In the "Subject" parameter specify the subject of the email - "Application for leave".
In the "From date" parameter specify the date when the email was received. Letters will be selected if they are received not earlier than the specified date.
Set the "Attachment exist" parameter to true. This is important to select emails only among the ones that have attachments.
