You contact a particular creature with which you are familiar and send a short message of 25 words or less to the subject. The subject recognizes you if it knows you. It can answer in like manner immediately.
Unlike Scry and Teleport, Sending doesn't go into much detail about what it means to be "familiar" with the target. The subject apparently doesn't always know you, so it doesn't have to be someone you've formally met, but does it have to be someone you've seen? Know the name of? Have a reliable description of (eg "The Sheriff of Nottingham," "The king's assassin")?
I would say you need to have seen them. Or perhaps have such a good description of them that you would immediately recognize them on sight. That's how I would rule it, I doubt there's anything "official" on this.

Not expecting anything official, just wondering if there's any unofficial consensus.
I'm trying to figure out whether you'd be able to hire someone to contact anyone you know, or whether it would have to work more like an electric telegraph network where you find a caster who has a connection to someone in the right location and can relay a message.
I'd say familiar with, in that you could recognize them walking by on the street. It really sucks to be the king and getting sendings from every ho-hum caster who wants your help.
