Wrench Adding the email functionality
I have make an menu in which first option is to start and second is to stop the services

Code:
 echo "Please enter the appropriate choice for doing the operations"
        echo "
        1) STOP Services        
        2) START Services 
        
    case $choice in
        1)
            echo "*************Stopping Services**************"
            stopAll.sh
            ;;
        2)
            echo "*************Starting Services**************"
            startAll.sh
            ;;


now please advise I want to add the functionality of email also in it that is lets say if some one stop the services by pressing the 1 option then a mail should be launced with the subject that services are stopped and with the body also that services are stopped at that time when the option 1 is pressed , please advise how to customize and the add the functionality of email.

In such case i suggest that you create a mailing code and call it. To email you can use several ways from maix to uuencode please be more specific as to what exactly you wish to achiever.
The idea way in your scenario will be if my assumptions are correct
after your start and stop scripts add the below
Code:
cat <A_TEMP_FILE> | mail -s "Subject" user@dmoain.com

If you have multiple users and DL's create a variable
Code:
MY_DL="user@dmoain.com, user1@dmoain.com"

and use it in the above command.

Good Luck

Why don't you just add the mail command to each case option:
Code:
case $choice in
         1) echo "*************Stopping Services**************"
            stopAll.sh
            mail -s "service stopped" mail@domain.com
            ;;
         2) echo "*************Starting Services**************"
            startAll.sh
            mail -s "service started" mail@domain.com
            ;;

you can follow what RudiC do,
but instead of add one email address.
use an email value instead
like what saurabh.mishra say:
MY_EMAIL:"user@dmoain.com, user1@dmoain.com"

then

Code:
case $choice in
         1) echo "*************Stopping Services**************"
            stopAll.sh
            mail -s "service stopped" $MY_EMAIL
            ;;
         2) echo "*************Starting Services**************"
            startAll.sh
            mail -s "service started" $MY_EMAIL
            ;;
