I am new in web services and have 0 knowledge of this please guide me how to achieve this task and if anyone can provide the code, there must be some web service available like this.

Here is an example of a function that sends an email you can use. Also, there are couple links below that can guide you in creating web service in ASP.NET

In reality, you don’t need to create a web service for this (although it’s recommended). You can create a quick and dirty web form where you pass parameters like this example.com/sendemail.aspx?account=jack.smith&id=223232343

private static void SendEmail(string from, string from_name, string to, string cc, string bcc, string subject, string body, bool isHtml)
{
    SmtpClient mailClient = new SmtpClient(Config.SmptSettings.Server);
    mailClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Config.SmptSettings.UserName, Config.SmptSettings.Password);
    mailClient.Port = Config.SmptSettings.Port;

    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(from_name))
    {
        message.From = new MailAddress(from, from_name);
    }
    else
    {
        message.From = new MailAddress(Formatter.UnFormatSqlInput(from));
    }

    message.To.Add(new MailAddress(to));

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(bcc, cc))
    {
        message.CC.Add(cc);
        message.Bcc.Add(bcc);
    }

    message.Subject = subject;
    message.Body = body;
    message.IsBodyHtml = isHtml;

    mailClient.EnableSsl = Config.SmptSettings.SSL;
    mailClient.Send(message); 
}

For those using .NET Core, note that there is currently no support for sending emails.

See the following issue for .NET Core via GitHub: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/1006

A an alternative solution has been implemented - MailKit: https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit

 ## Call this function in your WebApi controller ##

    private void sendEmailViaWebApi()
    {
                string subject = "Email Subject";
                string body = "Email body";
                string FromMail = "[email protected]";
            string emailTo = "[email protected]";
                MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
                SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("mail.reckonbits.com.pk");

                mail.From = new MailAddress(FromMail);
                mail.To.Add(emailTo);
                mail.Subject = subject;
                mail.Body = body;

                SmtpServer.Port = 25; 
                SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "your password");
                SmtpServer.EnableSsl = false;
                SmtpServer.Send(mail);
    }
