Use <input> element with type as file to upload a file and pass it on to a servlet.

<form id="submitForm"action="/bin/servlets/submitForm"method="POST"novalidate="novalidate"enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="name">Name</label><input name="userName"type="text"class="fieldInner"id="name"required>
<input name="file"value="Choose File"type="file"class="chooseFileInner"required/>
<input type="submit"id="applied"value="Submit"/>
</form>

Write a sling servlet that receives the file as an inputstream. You can attach this to org.apache.commons.mail.HtmlEmail
Below is working piece of servlet code.

try {
    RequestParameter attach = request.getRequestParameter("file");
    InputStream ip = attach.getInputStream();
    HtmlEmail email = new HtmlEmail();
    //MailTemplate mailTemplate = MailTemplate.create(templatePath, session);
    //HtmlEmail email = mailTemplate.getEmail(StrLookup.mapLookup(new HashMap<String, String>(parameters)), HtmlEmail.class);
    ByteArrayDataSource fileDS = new ByteArrayDataSource(ip, "application/pdf");
    email.attach(fileDS, "application/pdf", "This is your attached file.");
    email.addTo("receiver@example.com");
    email.setSubject("test email subject");
    email.setMsg("text email body");
    email.setHtmlMsg("<html><head></head><body><p>html email body</p></body></html>");
    email.setFrom("sender@example.com","TestUser");
    // Declare a MessageGateway service
    MessageGateway<Email> messageGateway;
    messageGateway = messageGatewayService.getGateway(HtmlEmail.class);
    messageGateway.send(email);
} catch (EmailException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Note: SMTP has to be configured in order for aem to send emails. This is an OOTB configuration.

Thanks
