/This post demonstrates how to send an email using a template from CRM using C# code
//There are 4 steps in achieving this:

(b)     Create the ‘To:’ activity party for the email
(c)    Create an e-mail message
(d)    Create the request to send email
//Namespace need to include
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Discovery;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Messages;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Client;
using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Messages;
//(a)Create the ‘From:’ activity party for the email
ActivityParty fromParty = new ActivityParty
{
    PartyId = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, _userId)
};
//(b)Create the ‘To:’ activity party for the email
ActivityParty toParty = new ActivityParty
{
    PartyId = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, _contactId)
};
//(c)Create an e-mail message
Email email = new Email
{
    To = new ActivityParty[] { toParty },
    From = new ActivityParty[] { fromParty },
    Subject = “e-mail”,
    Description = “SendEmailFromTemplate Message.”,
    DirectionCode = true
};

// (d)Create the request to send email
SendEmailFromTemplateRequest emailUsingTemplateReq = new SendEmailFromTemplateRequest
{
    Target = email,
    // Use a built-in Email Template of type “contact”.
    TemplateId = new Guid(“07B94C1D-C85F-492F-B120-F0A743C540E6”),
    // The regarding Id is required, and must be of the same type as the Email Template.
    RegardingId = _contactId,
    RegardingType = Contact.EntityLogicalName
};
SendEmailFromTemplateResponse emailUsingTemplateResp = (SendEmailFromTemplateResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(emailUsingTemplateReq);
Guid _emailId = emailUsingTemplateResp.Id;
//#########################################################################
//Here is the Complete Code
using (OrganizationServiceProxy _serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serverConfig.OrganizationUri,
                                                    serverConfig.HomeRealmUri,
                                                    serverConfig.Credentials,
                                                    serverConfig.DeviceCredentials))
{
    _serviceProxy.ServiceConfiguration.CurrentServiceEndpoint.Behaviors.Add(new ProxyTypesBehavior());
    Guid _contactId = new Guid(“<Contact Record GUID>”);
    WhoAmIRequest systemUserRequest = new WhoAmIRequest();
    WhoAmIResponse systemUserResponse = (WhoAmIResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(systemUserRequest);
    Guid _userId = systemUserResponse.UserId;
    // Create the ‘From:’ activity party for the email
    ActivityParty fromParty = new ActivityParty
    {
        PartyId = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, _userId)
    };
    // Create the ‘To:’ activity party for the email
    ActivityParty toParty = new ActivityParty
    {
        PartyId = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, _contactId)
    };
    // Create an e-mail message.
    Email email = new Email
