I have a report of users from a system who have stale accounts. I want to build something that can send them an email and receive either a yes or no depending on the option they select in the email.

The goal is to determine the accounts should be kept and those that should be removed.
Any ideas?

What I have tried:

Nothing yet. I really dont know how to start

Sorry about that.
I have a list of users in an excel file, a report generated from a system quarterly.Its a list of users with no login info in 180 days. The list contains usernames that can easily be converted to email addresses by adding the domain name.

Typically, the users are deleted, but most of the accounts end up getting recreated. To avoid that I want the users to be able to tell me if their account should be deleted or kept. I am looking for a way to implement this as the list can be about 300 users long.
I really dont know what else to add. Please ask specific questions and i will provide the answers.

Any Ideas?

An admiral goal that will depend entirely on how and where the data is stored and its content, which you have not chosen to share with us

Please read the posting guidelines and be more specific. As things stand, you have not really told us anything about your problem

Edit after OP comment:
Here are a couple of starting points - Sending emails over .NET framework, and general problems – using C# code[^]
