#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

#  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:
