You can try something like this:

The HTML:

<textarea id="contactUs"></textarea><div id="button">Send</div>
<div id="response"></div>

The jQuery:

$("#button").click(function(){ //when div id="button" is clicked
    var content = $("#contactUs").val(); //get value of textarea id="contactUs"
    $.post('send_mail.php',{content: content}, function(data){ //post data
        $('#response').html(data); //return content of send_mail.php
    });
});

Then the send_mail.php:

<?php 
if(isset($_POST['content']) === true){
    $content = $_POST['content']; //might wanna sanitize if you're storing into db
    $to = "[e-mail]"; //The email sending to
    $subject = "Sent From Contact form"; //The subject of email
    mail($to, $subject, $content, 'From: [e-mail]'); //PHP mail() function
    echo "Sent!"; //This will go to div id="response" on success
} else {
    echo "Error!"; //This will go to div id="response" on error
}
?>
