If the receiver is supposed to load the song together with a quicktime 
movie into Logic on a Mac, then send the files you are already talking 
about: Logic .lso song file, aif files used by the song, quicktime 
files used by the song. But put it on a cd and send it with snail mail. 
(or make a zip archive and upload to a server for her to download, if 
you have that option is available)

If you only need to let her listen to the music, bounce a part to disc 
from Logic as an mp3 file.

Or if you know she will listen on a Mac, as an AAC file, because that 
will make for a smaller file size.
