<script src="{{ asset('js/jquery-1.11.2.min.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ asset('bootstrap-3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js') }}"></script>
</body>
</html>

mail_body.blade.php
{!! nl2br($body) !!}

Step 6: Create controller file TutorialController.php in here C:\wamp\www\test_laravel\app\Http\Controllers 
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

class TutorialController extends Controller
{
    public function getSendEmail()
    {
        return view('tutorial.send_email');
    }

    public function postSendEmail(Request $request)
    {
        $validator = Validator::make($request->all(),
            [
                'email' => 'required|email',
                'subject' => 'required',
                'msg' => 'required'
            ]);
        if ($validator->fails())
            return back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
        Mail::send('tutorial.mail_body', ['body' => $request->msg], function ($message) use ($request) {
            $message->to($request->email)->subject($request->subject);
        });
        return back()->withSuccess(1);
    }
}
