Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.

first of all:

 

place a echo 'test';

just above the mail() function so that you are sure that your code reaches this part of code.

 

second: remove that @ before the mail function. Don't you want to be informed if an error occurs??

 

third: give an error if the mail function returns a FALSE.

if(mail(...) === FALSE)
    echo 'Sorry your email could not be sent.';

fourth:

 

if u still dont get your email (check your spam also) then you might try to send a very simple email like this:

mail('[email protected]','Test mail', 'Just a test...');

If then there is still no email then you have to contact your provider. Maybe they blocked the email() function of maybe you have to send your email through a SMTP server. In that case you could use a library like PHPMailer or Swiftmailer.
