Swift 2.2. Adapted from Esq's answer

import Foundation
import MessageUI

class MailSender: NSObject, MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate {

    let parentVC: UIViewController

    init(parentVC: UIViewController) {
        self.parentVC = parentVC
        super.init()
    }

    func send(title: String, messageBody: String, toRecipients: [String]) {
        if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() {
            let mc: MFMailComposeViewController = MFMailComposeViewController()
            mc.mailComposeDelegate = self
            mc.setSubject(title)
            mc.setMessageBody(messageBody, isHTML: false)
            mc.setToRecipients(toRecipients)
            parentVC.presentViewController(mc, animated: true, completion: nil)
        } else {
            print("No email account found.")
        }
    }

    func mailComposeController(controller: MFMailComposeViewController,
        didFinishWithResult result: MFMailComposeResult, error: NSError?) {

            switch result.rawValue {
            case MFMailComposeResultCancelled.rawValue: print("Mail Cancelled")
            case MFMailComposeResultSaved.rawValue: print("Mail Saved")
            case MFMailComposeResultSent.rawValue: print("Mail Sent")
            case MFMailComposeResultFailed.rawValue: print("Mail Failed")
            default: break
            }

            parentVC.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)
    }
}

Client code :

var ms: MailSender?

@IBAction func onSendPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
    ms = MailSender(parentVC: self)
    let title = "Title"
    let messageBody = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/310946/how-can-i-send-mail-from-an-iphone-application this question."
    let toRecipents = ["foo@bar.com"]
    ms?.send(title, messageBody: messageBody, toRecipents: toRecipents)
}
