Ahoy matey! If ye be wantin' to show a mail compose view, ye best be usin' the MFMailComposeViewController from the MessageUI framework. Here be the steps to set sail:

Import the MessageUI framework:
```
import MessageUI
```

Check if the device can send mail:

if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() {
    let mailComposeViewController = MFMailComposeViewController()
    mailComposeViewController.mailComposeDelegate = self

    // Set the subject, recipients, and body of the email
    mailComposeViewController.setSubject("Subject")
    mailComposeViewController.setToRecipients(["example@example.com"])
    mailComposeViewController.setMessageBody("Body of the email", isHTML: false)

    // Present the mail compose view controller
    present(mailComposeViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
    // Show an error message if the device can't send mail
    print("This device cannot send email")
}

Implement the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate:

extension YourViewController: MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate {
    func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController, didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult, error: Error?) {
