That's right, if you are using Mobile Services, you can very easily tune certain scenarios to a certain fixed interval of time. The once a week interval is certainly maintained. Details can be found at: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/schedule-backend-tasks/

If you are already using your app in cloud services, you can see how to use the Scheduler add-in in the Windows Azure Store. SendGrid is probably the easiest email option because you can also add it to your subscription via the Store.
Documentation for sending email using SendGrid with Windows Azure is available here: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/sendgrid-email-service/ Details on the Scheduler add-on can be found here: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/store/service/?name=scheduler
Details of SendGrid, including a free offer for Windows Azure customers, can be found here: https://www.windowsazure.com / en-us / store / service /? name = sendgrid

SendGrid is an easy-to-use service for sending emails if you have no other way out of this role.

Instead of a worker role, can I recommend using Windows Azure Mobile Service. The reason I recommend using this is because it supports task scheduling. You can read more about this here: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/schedule-backend-tasks/ . Also see an example of sending email using Send Grid using the Windows Azure Mobile Service here: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/send-email-with-sendgrid/ . You just combine the two to feed your email on a weekly basis.
