Does your Arduino code utilize the board's serial interface? If it does, you may not even need a separate "sender" program and can use Terminal or putty for sending the text. In fact, you could use Arduino's own IDE Serial Monitor (Ctrl+Shift+M) feature for that. it's even easier - less work setting up the serial port since the IDE already knows where your board is.
