Okay, well, to send an email, you create a message (string), and send it.
The email template can therefore be a text file with tokens to replace in
it. A token is a character sequence which is recognized by your software.
For example, you could put [First Name] anywhere you want a certain First
Name to appear. Then you can use the String.Replace() method to replace all
occurrences of a given token with another string.

To use them, just open them and read them into a string. Then replace the
tokens, add the string as a message to an email, and send it.

Kevin covered the template aspect of your issue.

As for sending the email, you can use the System.Web.Mail class.
