This should be a rather straightforward (if a bit specific) bit of
translation, but I cannot find a form that makes sense to me and gets
corroborated by Google.

How would one translate the typical phrase structure:

> **Send him up/over** [to the nth floor, to my office etc]

Such as spoken to an office receptionist over the phone, to ask them to have a
visitor go up to a certain floor/office.

More specifically, I am wondering what verbal form would be appropriate. My
two inclinations were to go with either:

> 渡してください

... but I am pretty sure this could only apply to an object, not people.

Or:

> 行かせてください

... but this sounds more like "allow them/me to go" than "have them go" (and
so do most usage examples I can find in Google).

Does anybody know what the definite way of expressing this would be?

question
translation verbs
Expressing: "Send them over/up, please"
I don't want to poach the answer spot that yadokari and oldergod should get,
but in my experience, 送る has definitely been used.

> 例：彼らをこちらに送って下さい。

Translated to "Please send them here."

> 例：彼らをこちらに呼んで下さい。

Would also be common, as in "Please call them here."

Just thinking out loud here, so I'm not sure of the exact contexts or nuances,
but what about

>   * 出す・送り出す → send : 使いを出す｜send a messenger
>   * 向ける → 〔行かせる〕send : 使者を向ける｜send a messenger ｟to｠
>   * 遣【つか】わす・派遣する → 人をある場所へ行かせる。英to dispatch : This one seems to be the wrong
> context
>   * 招く → 〔頼んで来てもらう〕: beckon ｟to｠
>   * 寄せる → let ｟a person｠ come near : call on ｟a person｠
>   * Others that seem **VERY** context-dependent and likely have particular
> nuances: 召す, 呼び寄せる, 近寄せる, 近付ける, 呼びつける, 召し寄せる, 引き渡す (seems very unlikely),
> 引き寄せる (also seems unlikely).

Causative form can work too, if you don't need to use keigo to the visitor:

> 会議室{かいぎしつ}で待{ま}たせておいてください。

I think 来させる is acceptable, but 行かせる sounds unnatural. This is not because of
the verb form, but because of the semantics of 行く.
