+{
+
+    public function initContent()
+    {
+        parent::initContent();
+        Mail::Send(
+            (int)(Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT')), // defaut language id
+            'contact', // email template file to be use
+            ' Module Installation', // email subject
+            array(
+                '{email}' => Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_EMAIL'), // sender email address
+                '{message}' => 'Hello world' // email content
+            ),
+            Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_EMAIL'), // receiver email address 
+            NULL, //receiver name
+            NULL, //from email address
+            NULL  //from name
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+{{% notice tip %}}
+Prestashop will use the Shop Configuration to decide if use `smtp` connection or php `mail` function so check it out on backoffice or in `app/config/parameter.php`
