AppleScript to Compress folder (w 3 files) *My 1st AppleScript

I need to Zip/Compress a local folder with 3 files so they can be attached to a scripted email sent by FileMaker.

 

360Works plugin is not available to me.  I've figured out that I can set a FM script step to perform an AppleScript.  I've seen that AppleScript can Compress folders/files.  What I can't figure out is this:

 

Where can I find step-by-step AppleScript instructions for zipping multiple files in a folder and can I just paste it into the Perform AppleScript script step?  I've located instructions for single files but that doesn't help me.  This is all so foreign to me I need the most basic explanations on how to do this.  

 

Files will be named differently but will always be in this folder - Macintosh HD:Users:Me:Documents:Company:FolderToBeZipped

 

Thank you so much for any help.
