You can Use Postal which is very handy and easy to use ,to send emails

Controller

dynamic email = new Email("Email");
email.To = UserName;
email.FirstName = FName;
email.LastName = LName;
email.Send();

Then in your View Email

@{
Layout = null;
}

To: @ViewBag.To
From: Example [email protected]
Subject: blah blah

Hello @ViewBag.FirstName,

Your Text.........
This is auto generated email please do not reply.

Edited

Please add your smtp credentials in web.config

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
  <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="[email protected]">
    <network defaultCredentials="false" host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" enableSsl="true" userName="[email protected]" password="1234567" />
  </smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

This is very simple. Just give a try Hope this helps!
