This is my .env file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

This is my mail.php file

This is my mail class in App\mail\ directory

<?php

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class CompanyVerificationEmails extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;

    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->view('emails.comp_ver_emails');
    }
}

This is my controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\General_model;

use App\Http\Requests;

use Session;

use Mail;
use App\Mail\CompanyVerificationEmails;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\AuthorizesRequests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\AuthorizesResources;


class General_controller extends Controller
{

public function sentemail()
{
     $mail_to = 'receiver_email@gmail.com';

     Mail::to($mail_to)->send(new CompanyVerificationEmails);

     dd('Mail send successfully');
}

}
