asp.net core contact form add multiple data in message body

I am using this to send email from contact form

var message = new MimeMessage();
message.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(_smtpSettings.SenderName, _smtpSettings.SenderEmail));
message.To.Add(new MailboxAddress("[email protected]"));
message.Subject = "Contact form communication";
message.Body = new TextPart("html")
{
Text = "test message"
};
using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
await client.ConnectAsync(_smtpSettings.Server, _smtpSettings.Port, true);
client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2");
await client.AuthenticateAsync(_smtpSettings.UserName, _smtpSettings.Password);
await client.SendAsync(message);
await client.DisconnectAsync(true);
}

which is working very well. But the body text I want to contain concatenated values from form

Text = ContactForm.Name + ContactForm.Email + ContactForm.Company + ContactForm.Message

data is sent from the form because at the same time I am writting those values to a table and send email with string only

var message = new MimeMessage();
message.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(_smtpSettings.SenderName, _smtpSettings.SenderEmail));
message.To.Add(new MailboxAddress("[email protected]"));
message.ReplyTo.Add(new MailboxAddress("[email protected]"));
message.Subject = "Contact form communication";
message.Body = new TextPart("html")
{
Text = "text"
};
using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
await client.ConnectAsync(_smtpSettings.Server, _smtpSettings.Port, true);
client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove("XOAUTH2");
await client.AuthenticateAsync(_smtpSettings.UserName, _smtpSettings.Password);
await client.SendAsync(message);
await client.DisconnectAsync(true);
}

I have a contact form

class="badge-info form-control mt-2 text-left">Name:
class="form-control" type="text" asp-for="ContactForm.Name" />

Accepted answer
use as
string text= ContactForm.Name+" "+ + ContactForm.Email + " "+ ContactForm.Company + " "+ ContactForm.Message ;

message.Body = new TextPart("html")
            {
                Text = text
            };

on submit , are values binding to the model properties? I think values are not binding with the model properties.
change submit button to asp button and send the form as you usually do that is onpost and under onpost method call your mailsending method.
