Create new Node with Relationship to existing Node

I'm new to Neo4J and I'm just playing around with it and get used to it.

I have an existing Node with the label User and a property name thats set to daniel. Now I want to create a new Node Message that has a relationship Send.

MATCH (u:User)
WHERE u.name = 'daniel'
CREATE (m:Message {text = 'hallo welt'} )-[:Send]-(u)

But the Neo4J-Browser just returns "Unknown error". Can someone point out what's wrong with this statement?

Colon instead of equals sign in the CREATE. Also there are no undirected rels in Neo4j but you can choose to ignore direction at query time.

MATCH (u:User)
WHERE u.name = 'daniel'
CREATE (m:Message {text : 'hallo welt'} )<-[:SENT]-(u)
