You can trap the kill signal inside the script and call a function in the script to send the mail and then make the script to exit. Find how trap works in the man pages and try this solution.

"kill -9" cannot be trapped.

Depends on who is killing the process. If you are in control of the process that kills the script, try using someother signal (apart from 9) USR1 or USR2 and try trapping it.
