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

It is possible that the mail is getting blocked by your incoming server because it looks like the sender is invalid, which appears similar to spam.
If you have access to it, check the filter log on your server. This should be available in cPanel as "trace email". If your mail is getting blocked you will see it in the list with a mark against it that indicates a problem, hover over that and you will see the reason.
If that is the case, and the reason is something like "sender verification failed", y ou might like to try the -f "envelope from address" additional parameter:
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers, "-f $email_from");
Mail function reference, including note about "additional parameters" and specifically -f for sendmail:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass additional flags as command line options to the program configured to be used when sending mail, as defined by the sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail with the -f sendmail option.
The user that the webserver runs as should be added as a trusted user to the sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from being added to the message when the envelope sender (-f) is set using this method. For sendmail users, this file is /etc/mail/trusted-users.
$email_to = 'nobody@example.com';
$email_subject = 'the subject';
$email_message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . " " .
'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "
" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
Try this and let me know
