Without reply to an activity request, you can send a message to him like the following. I should mention that you must have the user's Id, and it means at least the user should have sent a message to the bot, to store his id.

string userId ="123456789"; // For Example
string serviceUrl = "https://telegram.botframework.com"; // For Example

var connector = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(serviceUrl));
IMessageActivity newMessage = Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
newMessage.Type = ActivityTypes.Message;
newMessage.From = new ChannelAccount("", "");
newMessage.Conversation = new ConversationAccount(false, userId);
newMessage.Recipient = new ChannelAccount(userId);
newMessage.Text = "";
await connector.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync((Activity)newMessage);

The above code comes from here.
