Multithreading - .NET Anonymous Function To New Thread?

I have this code:

Public Sub Submit(
ByVal reasonId As Integer,
ByVal email As String,
ByVal message As String
)
'[Argument validation code here]
EmailController.sendMail(reasonId, email, message)
End Sub

I want to spin this off in a new thread so Submit() returns right after creating and start the thread.In C#, I could do something like this:new Thread(() => { EmailController.sendMail(reasonId, email, message)}).Start();
