            NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
            NSString *filename =@"test.csv";
            NSString *fullPathToFile = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename];
            NSData *myData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:fullPathToFile]; 
            
            // pdf file path details for attachments
            NSString *filename1 =@"NewPDF.pdf";
            NSString *pdfPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename1];
            NSData *myData1 = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:pdfPath];
            

            
            MFMailComposeViewController *mailer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
            mailer.mailComposeDelegate = self;
            
            NSMutableArray *arr = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
            [arr addObject:emailText.text];
            [mailer setToRecipients:arr];
            
            [mailer setSubject:@"Vehicle Expenses from myConsultant"];

                                                           delegate:nil
                                                  cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                                  otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [alert show];
            [alert release];
        }

    }

step 4 : // add delegate method anywhere in .m class file

- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
    // Notifies users about errors associated with the interface
    switch (result)
    {
        case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultSent:
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
            break;
            
        default:
        {
            UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Email" message:@"Sending Failed - Unknown Error :-("
                                                           delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil];
            [alert show];
            [alert release];
        }
            
            break;
    }
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
