Mnemonic

You watch the thing arrive at their end, knowing you sent it, and you mention it as though you had barely been involved. Ee い, ta たす. I will be in touch: いたす.

Worth knowing

The humble form of する. Used about what you do yourself and never about anybody else, which is the whole point of it. やる is the casual one and 行う おこなう the formal one.
