You need to create email template same like your view file, lets say contact_us_email.blade.php. In this file add this content

contact_us_email.blade.php

<html>
    <body>
        <h2>Hi, This is {{ $data['name'] }} "{{ $data['email'] }}"</h2><br>
        <p>Subject: {{ $data['subject'] }}</p> <br>
        <p>I have some query like <b>"{{ $data['message'] }}"</b>. <br>
        <p>It would be appriciative, if you gone through this feedback.</p>
    </body>
</html>

NOTE: Add css or styling according to your need. this is basic html

Edit: To send confirmation email to user

For success confirmation to user, you can create another email template like contact_us_thank_you_email.blade.php

<html>
    <body>
        <h2>Hello, {{ $data['name'] }} "{{ $data['email'] }}"</h2><br>
        <p>Thank You for your interest...blah blah blah</p> <br>
        <p>Our team will contact you soon</p> <br>
    </body>
</html>

Now in your ContactUsController, replace

\Mail::to('[email protected]')->send(new ContactUs($data));

with

Mail::send('contact_us_email', $data, function ($message) use ($data) {
    $message->from('[email protected]', 'xxx');
    $message->to('[email protected]')->subject($data['subject']);
});

Mail::send('contact_us_thank_you_email', $data, function ($message) use ($data) {
    $message->from('[email protected]', 'xxx');
    $message->to($data['email'])->subject('Thank you for the interest');
});

And I think you are good to go with this. I hope this is what you are asking for.
