'send a message' is the definition.
'cable' can be an answer for 'send' (send a message by cable). I'm not sure about the 'a message' bit.

'see fit' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'fit' becomes 'able' (similar in meaning).
'c'+'able'='CABLE'

'to' acts as a link.
