How to send weekly email report using Worker Role in windows azure application
Correct, if you use Mobile Services, you can set certain scripts to run on a fixed time interval very easily. A once/week interval is certainly supported. Details can be found at: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/schedule-backend-tasks/
If you are already running an app on Cloud Services, however, you may want to look at using the Scheduler add-on in the Windows Azure Store. SendGrid is probably the easiest option for email because you can also add it to your subscription through 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 are available here: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/store/service/?name=scheduler
