DMCA templates are widely available online. You'll want to prepare a list of violations and show your URL vs. the offending URL, because the form will ask for that. Write it in legalese so they know you're not fucking around and CC an attorney on the email if you have one.
DMCA works best with media content, but text is doable. If the webmaster doesn't respond after a few days, then you send a copy to their web host. By law, they are responsible for taking the content offline. Make it known to them that they have a concrete number of days to respond and remedy the issue before they will be subject to fines and potential legal action.
I once sent a DMCA to a very large real estate company that had poached a bunch of photos from my employer's site. They tried to stonewall me, so I sent the DMCA to 1and1 (their hosting company) and CC'ed our attorney. I explained that the site owners were non-responsive and that we intend to take this as far as is necessary. 1and1 pulled the plug on their entire server and took 18 of their websites with it.
I didn't have any problem getting them to take my call after that. Most hosts will just take the offending site offline until the webmaster fixes it. They're not gonna pay their staff to crawl the offending site looking for stolen content.
Hope that helps.
ETA: Make sure your copyrights and content usage/reuse policies are on the site, dated properly (2013), and properly written.
