I want to send a private message on Facebook to someone who is my friend. However, when I select that option their name does not come up in the list of names to chose from. How can I send them a private message?

If it is an extensive discussion and it cannot be taken off of Facebook (mail/skype etc) then use Groups as temporary message boards. The current flaw (last time I checked, this could have been removed by now) in groups allows you to add friends without having them accept. You can then start the message there and those who have been invited will receive a notification. Use with caution this can be used for malicious purposes.
Otherwise it is not possible without just copy/pasting the message.
You cannot forward Inbox messages at this time or loop someone into a message thread once it has begun.

This is a wall post.
It appears in your news feed when friend A posts on friend B's wall, and only works if friend B allows wall posts and has made wall posts by others public.

If that person is your friend, name should be come in the list. You can refresh the page or check with other browsers.
Other way is go to that person's profile. Click on
Messagetab and send the message. If person is in your friend list, message will go in Inbox otherwise it will go in "Other" folder in the inbox.
