To add a 'Send to Friends' link in your email campaigns you will first need to create a 'Send to Friends' form in the 'Create Website Forms' section of the control panel.

To do this go to 'Create Website Forms' and select 'Form Type->Send to Friend'

Continue through the process in the same fashion as you would create any other form type. Once it's been created, you can now add this to your emails.

To add the 'Send To a Friend' to your email campaigns you simply add it in like any other 'Custom Field' and send it out -- Simply click on the 'Insert Custom Field' button on the editor or the link underneath the editor.

By default, this will display the "Send to a Friend" link as a URL. To customize it, you can go into the source code editor mode and wrap the link in an href tag, i.e.:

<a href=%%sendfriend_X%%>Send this newsletter to a friend</a>

where X is the form ID number.

- OR -

You can type your text, i.e. "Send this newsletter to a friend", highlight it, choose the option "Insert Link" from the wysiwyg editor toolbar, and choose the Pre-define link dropdown item "send to friend" website form you created.
