Your system probably blocks you from sending executable attachments. You could try:
1) Putting it in a ZIP (or other archive) file.
2) Renaming the file to change the extension. Then let the person on the other end know what you did so they'll be able to use the file when they get it.
3) If the system absolutely won't let you do it, burn the file to a CD or copy it to a thumb drive, then send it by snail mail.

Because exe files are the easiest and most common way to spread a virus, most e-mail services will not allow them through the system. You can either "zip" the file, or simply rename it so i no longer has an "exe" extension. Changing the extension will not in any way alter the file itself, but will trick the e-mail service into letting i pass through. The person who gets it will have to restore the exe extension before they can use the file.

Since exe files are the most common way viruses are sent, many mail services prohibit their transfer. You could try to use a ZIP file, but many services won't even allow a ZIP file containing an executable through. I wouldn't recommend trying to send an EXE file through e-mail anyway.

You should zip it! Make it a .zip or .rar then send it.
