* Navigate to the 'send' page in the wallet
* Paste in your recipient's address into the 'send to' field (and perform a double check that the pasted address is the same as the address you copied. Do the first 5-6 and last 5-6 characters all match?)
* Input the amount to be sent (specify this to the satoshi, for better privacy)
* As your wallet allows: select the transaction fee-rate, UTXO(s) to be used as input, and write yourself a memo so that you can later remember what the transaction was about.
* Double check all the fields (there are no take-backs once a transaction is broadcast!), and then confirm the send.
