Scan and send, but how?

This question may well be basic stuff for some, but not having needed this before, I am unsure of how to achieve success.

I use google chrome, but have IE. I also have a printer/scanner connected to laptop.

I need to scan a letter then somehow be able to use it as an attachment in an email.

Presumably with the letter in the scanner, I press and scan, but what then?

    Details? Which scanner are you using? Some scanners require you to scan from the PC and not the scanner itself...
