Mister Micawber,

This question is posted by me. Sorry I forgot to login before I post it.

Thank you, but maybe I don't think so

This sentence is at the beginning of a letter as most letters do, so it shall have its special meaning.

Could it mean "We refer you to" or "with reference to". That is, not we, but you refer to it

Could anyone give

It says 'we refer', not 'we refer you' or 'you refer'. It does of course mean 'with reference to', which is included in both definitions I have already given you.
