You should

• send the form 1 containing the extract decree together with a covering letter
• provide any relevant information to the sheriff officer
• instruct him to lodge an arrestment or earnings arrestment as appropriate
• send the documents by hand if convenient, or by the Hays DX system (or by first class post if for whatever reason this is not possible).
