; Use your previously obtained access token here:
; See the following examples for getting an access token:
;    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
;    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
;    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
;    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

; To send mail, we'll POST to the following endpoint:
; 
; POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/sendMail
; 
; (The special keyword "me" may be used in place of a principal name.)
; 

; This example will send HTML email containing the following HTML body:

; 	<html>
; 	<head>
; 	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
; 	<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

; 	<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

; The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
