Put the appropriate Using statement at the top of the class module and make sure you have included a reference to the appropriate assembly

Look at the error message:

The type or Namespace name "Email" could not be found

It's pretty explicit! The compiler does not know what the Email class is: it hasn't got one for you to use. Either you haven't added a reference to the assembly containing the class to your project, and a using statement at the top of the file to the namespace the class is in; or just the using statement is missing; or you do not have a class called Email at all. Hover the mouse over the word "Email" and a little blue bar will appear at the beginning. Hover the mouse over that and a drop down will open suggesting ways to fix it.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

Nobody else caught this, but why are you using "dynamic"? It's not for the use case what you're using it. That line should read:

Email email = new Email("ChngPasswordEmail");

Dynamic treats your object as an Object type, removes all static checks at compile time, and slows down the code a bit due to having to resolve method calls at runtime. It also makes it harder to write the code and debug it. It should be rare that you have to use the dynamic type.
