How to mail someone for referral

You're looking to send a referral to someone via mail! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Materials needed:

• A referral letter or email template (you can create your own or use a pre-made one)
• A self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) for the recipient to return the referral
• A business reply mail (BRM) permit (optional, but recommended for tracking and cost savings)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the referral letter or email template:
   • Write a brief introduction explaining the referral and why you're recommending the person or service.
   • Include the recipient's name, address, and any relevant contact information.
   • Highlight the benefits of the referral, such as a unique skillset or exceptional service.
   • Keep the tone professional and concise.
2. Create a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE):
   • Use a standard #10 envelope or a larger envelope if needed.
   • Write your return address in the top left corner.
   • Affix a stamp in the top right corner.
3. Add the referral letter or email template:
   • Place the referral letter or email template inside the SASE.
   • Make sure it's legible and easy to read.
4. Optional: Add a business reply mail (BRM) permit:
   • If you want to track the referral and save on postage costs, consider using a BRM permit.
   • Attach the permit to the outside of the envelope.
5. Mail the referral:
   • Place the SASE with the referral letter or email template in a mailbox or send it via a postal service.
   • Make sure to affix the correct postage (if not using a BRM permit).
6. Wait for the recipient's response:
   • The recipient will receive the referral and can respond by mail or email.
   • You can also follow up with a phone call or email to ensure they received the referral.

Tips and Variations:

• Consider using a pre-paid return envelope or a pre-stamped envelope to make it easier for the recipient to respond.
• If you're sending a large number of referrals, consider using a bulk mailing service or a referral management platform to streamline the process.
• You can also include additional materials, such as a business card or a brochure, to provide more information about the referral.
• If you're referring someone for a specific job or opportunity, be sure to include any relevant details, such as a job description or application instructions.

By following these steps, you'll be able to send a professional and effective referral to someone via mail. Good luck!
