You can use the Rednet API

There are also a couple of examples in the tutorials section of the forum.

-- Open the Modem
rednet.open(side)
-- Send string to Turtle
rednet.send(turtleID,string)
-- Close the Modem
rednet.close(side)

That should do it. Now you just need to make it so that if the turtle receives the certain string then it does something.
