Does anyone know a script that auto sends a pre-written message every day to a same email address?

do you have shell scripting experience? if so, a cron entry invoking a short script which invokes mail(1) will do it.

No.
I will try to look up cron and mail. But it will be nice if you can do it for me? It should take you only one minute to write the script? whereas for me, could be 1 day?
Is it essential that I need a SMTP server?

You will need to connect to some kind of mail server unless you plan to connect by hand to each mail server that handles mail that you want to send to. Your ISP should provide you with and SMTP server or you could configure your own. Easiest way in a script would be to get the command line mail program able to send external emails. "man mail" for more info.
