Send messages

Enough about receiving messages. Sooner or later, your bot will want to send you messages. You should have discovered your own user ID from above interactions. I will keeping using my fake ID of 999999999. Remember to substitute your own (real) user ID. 

>>> bot.sendMessage(999999999, 'Good morning!')
