# Implements the following CURL command:

# curl --request POST \
#   --url https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send \
#   --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
#   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
#   --data '{"personalizations": [{"to": [{"email": "recipient@example.com"}]}],"from": {"email": "sender@example.com"},"subject":"Hello, World!","content": [{"type": "text/html","value": "Hey,<br>Please find attachment."}], "attachments": [{"content": "BASE64_ENCODED_CONTENT", "type": "text/plain", "filename": "attachment.txt"}]}'
