Magento send email in custom module

I Need to create an email template. Also I need to load that customer template into another .phtml file and edit before send the email. After editing only I need to send the email. Can anyone please help me how to do this?

I searched and tried for this, but I only found articles related to send email without editing the existing email template.

You can create an email template when going to System > Transactional Emails. The name you put in is the unique identifier for that template.

<?php

$templateName = 'template_name_you_put_in_in_the_backend';

$to = '[email protected]';
$customerName   = 'John Doe';

// Load our template by template_id
$emailTemplate  = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')->loadDefault($templateId);

$vars = array(
    'customer_name' => $customerName
    // Other vars that can be used in the mplate
);

// Store sends it
$senderName = Mage::getStoreConfig(Mage_Core_Model_Store::XML_PATH_STORE_STORE_NAME);
$senderEmail = Mage::getStoreConfig('trans_email/ident_general/email');
$emailTemplate->setSenderName($senderName);
$emailTemplate->setSenderEmail($senderEmail); 

//Send the email!
$emailTemplate->send($to, $customerName, $emailTemplateVariables);

You can of course edit this file through System > Transactional Emails. If this isn't what you mean, can you clarify what you mean by 'editing the existing email template' ?
