Contactemail

          <p>Name : {{$contact->fname . " " . $contact  ->lname}}</p>

          <p>Subject : {{$contact->subject}}</p>
          <p>Message : {{$contact->message}}</p>

Route

                      Route::get('contact','ContactController@index')->name('Contact');
                      Route::post('contact', 'ContactController@mail')->name('contact.mail');

Answer 1

There is a problem in your ContactMail class. Goto Mail/ContactMail.php and add this to your construct function and add a public variable:

 public $contact; //create a public global variable

 public function __construct(ContactUs $contact)
    {
        $this->contact = $contact;
    }

Make sure you include your model use App\ContactUs; inside ContactMail.php as well.
