Step 1:

Create a TEXT/HTML file with the Keys as below

Hi [username],

Step 2:

Create a template passing the values to replace with the keys in template

values = {}
values['username'] = 'Ludmal de silva!'
values['from'] = 'The Team'
values['url'] = 'http://www.ludmal.com'
temp = EmailTemplate(template_name='welcome.txt', values=values)

Step 3:

Create a Mail Server

server = MailServer(server_name='smtp.gmail.com', username='', password='', port=0,   require_starttls=True)

Step 4:

Create a mail message and send the email

msg = MailMessage(from_email='ludmal@gmail.com', to_emails=['ludmal@gmail.com'], subject='Welcome')
