    Dim myTasks As Outlook.Folder
    Dim myNewTaskItem As Outlook.TaskItem
    Dim mytaskreqItem As Outlook.TaskRequestItem
    Dim myItem As Outlook.TaskItem

Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myTasks = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set mytaskreqItem = myTasks.Items.Find("[Subject] = ""Meeting w/ Nate Sun""")
If Not TypeName(mytaskreqItem) = "Nothing" Then
    Set myNewTaskItem = mytaskreqItem.<strong>GetAssociatedTask</strong>(True)

    myItem.Send
End If



End Sub
