Sample Code:

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/32.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/32.0/apex.js")}

var mail = new sforce.SingleEmailMessage();

mail.targetObjectId = "{!Contact.Id}";
mail.toAddresses = "{!Contact.Email}";
mail.templateId = "00X28000000Utjy";
mail.whatId = "{!Case.Id}";

var result = sforce.connection.sendEmail([mail]);

if (result[0].success == 'true') {
    alert("Email sent successfully.");
} else {
    alert("Email sending failed.");
}

Note: Only User, Contact, Lead, or Person Account objects are allowed for targetObjectId.

If you need to refer specific attributes then download Partner WSDL and refer complexType SingleEmailMessage.
