I couldn't recall any either, so I did some searching just to confirm, and there aren't any. The Holy Spirit never speaks to the Father, and there are no explicit examples where the Father is speaking to the Spirit. The sending language you mention really doesn't seem to be anything like what we observe occurring between the Father and Son and can reasonably be interpreted to fit with the Oneness view. An obvious interpersonal relationship only occurs between the Father and Son and, therefore, the simplest way to interpret that is that the relationship is the result of the incarnation and not a multipersonal nature of God.
