To sign 'send', hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down. Place your dominant hand in a closed fist resting on the back of your non-dominant hand. Move your dominant hand forward while opening your fingers into a flat handshape, as if you are tossing an object forward.
To sign this, start with 'I', then 'need', followed by 'send', and finally 'email'. When signing 'send', ensure your dominant hand moves outward from your body to show the email going out to someone else.
Sign 'you', 'send', and then 'package'. Since this is a yes/no question, remember to raise your eyebrows and lean slightly forward while signing to indicate that you are asking for a response.
Because 'send' is a directional verb, you can change its movement. Instead of moving your dominant hand outward, start the sign slightly away from your body and bring it inward toward yourself to mean 'send to me'.

Yes! 'Send' is a directional verb in ASL. If you are sending something to someone else, move your hand outward. If someone is sending something to you, start the sign further away and move it toward your body, ending with the open hand facing you.
While you can use this sign for sending a text, it is more commonly used for emails, letters, or packages. For texting, there is a specific sign that mimics typing on a smartphone with your thumbs, which is more accurate for that context.
Your dominant hand should start as a closed fist (an 'S' handshape) and end in a flat, open handshape with your fingers together and palm facing down. This mimics the natural motion of releasing an object you are throwing or sending.
