how to send a private message on twitter?

[Bryant Alvarez]

I want to send a private message to someone I'm following i know that person but i need to talk to him privately unfortunately this person has many followers and i don't want other people seeing what i will type i just need to send a message privately so this person knows who i am.
also this person isn't following me it says you can't send a message since this person isn't following me <_<
if i can't send a private message then what would be the best way to contact him on twitter >_>

On the top bar, where it says "Home" "Profile" "Messages" "Who To Follow"
Click on Messages > New Message, type what you want to say, and then just send it. And don't worry, no one can see this message!

Hope this helps!(=

Click on Messages- New message- there you go. .

This person HAS to be following you for you to send them a private message.
