    $validator = [
        'sender' => '<sender>',

     * @return void
     */

    public function __construct($validator)
    {
        $this->validator = $validator;
    }

    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */

    public function build()
    {
        $this->from($this->validator['sender'])
            ->subject($this->validator['subject'])
            ->to($this->validator['to'])
            ->markdown('emails.welcome');
            foreach ($this->validator['attachments'] as $attachment) {
                $this->attach($attachment);
            }
        return $this;
    }
