How to Forward an Introduction on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a social network created to enable professional networking.

When a LinkedIn user wants to connect with someone outside her immediate network, she can request an introduction from a mutual connection. If you've received an introduction request and agree to make the introduction, you do so by forwarding the introduction to the intended recipient.

Instructions

1. Click "Inbox," located at the top of the LinkedIn home page, after logging into the site.

2. Click "All Messages" and select "Introductions" from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the subject line of the introduction you wish to forward. Click "Forward" at the bottom of the message.

4. Include a note to the recipient to explain why you're introducing him to your colleague. You can choose not to include a note, if you prefer.

5. Click "Forward Message." The recipient will receive the introduction request from your friend, and can choose to respond or ignore.
