Would you offer a broker's fee for design work, say 12% if someone found you work you didn't even ask for.
Or is that not appropriate.This person referred one of her clients to me, a client who was looking for a graphic designer. This acquaintance is also a freelancer of her on trait, so I think the money would be appreciated...
But once again... I don't want to be inappropriate, I have bad people skills!!!

5% to 10% depending how big the job or complicated it is.
why not talk to her say
"thank you sending me this work, what would be an appropriate finder's fee for it?"as long as its in 5-10 you are in the good
but note that broker is different from referral. broker will take commission but also help to manage the client. Say billpayment, rate negotiation etc but not project management / account management.
so ask her first see what she says, if she says nothing, at least offer her 7.5-10 if this is the first job around

In short, no. Referrals are great and appreciated but don't require to be paid – its a word of mouth business. That being said, buy them a bottle of wine or a small thank you, thats all it takes.
