Ajax Form submission with email

I am stepping over my own feet here. I have created an ajax form submission that stores to a db. Now I need to get an email notification sent to the site admin.

Here is the code producing an ajax error each time I submit the form:

<?php
/**
 * FORM API
 */

/*
 * Implements hook_menu()
 */
function contact_menu() {
	$items['contact'] = array(
		'title' => 'View the sample form',
		'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
		'page arguments' => array('contact_nameform'),
		'access callback' => TRUE,
		'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM
	);
	return $items;
}
/*
 * Implements hook_theme
 */
function contact_theme() {
	return array(
	'contact_nameform' => array(
		'render element' => 'form',
		'template' => 'contact_nameform',
		),
	);
}

/*
 * Assign the elements of the form to variables
 */
function template_preprocess_contact_nameform(&$variables) {
	$variables['contact_nameform'] = array();
	$hidden = array();
	//Provides variables named after form keys
	foreach (element_children($variables['form']) as $key) {
		$type = $variables['form'][$key]['#type'];
		if ($type == 'hidden' || $type == 'token') {
			$hidden[] = drupal_render($variables['form'][$key]);
		}
		else {
			$variables['contact_nameform'][$key] = drupal_render($variables['form'][$key]);
		}
	}
	// Hidden form elements have no value to the theme
	$variables['contact_nameform']['hidden'] = implode($hidden);
	// Collect all form elements
	$variables['contact_nameform_form'] = implode($variables['contact_nameform']);
}


/*
 * Define the form fields
 */
function contact_nameform() {
// Assign form ID
	$form['#id'] = 'contact';
	$form['#contact'] = $contact;
	$form_state['contact'] = $contact;
// Fields
	$form['name'] = array(
	'#title' => t('Your Name'),
	'#type' => 'textfield',
	'#description' => t('Please enter your name.'),
	'#required' => TRUE
	);
	$form['email'] = array(
	'#title' => t('Your Email'),
	'#type' => 'textfield',
	'#description' => t('Please enter your email.'),
	'#required' => TRUE
	);
	$form['comments'] = array(
	'#title' => t('Comments'),
	'#type' => 'textarea',
	'#maxlength' => 500, 
	'#description' => t('Type you comment')
	);
	$form['info'] = array(
	'#type' => 'value',
	'#value' => ($contact),
	);
	$form['box'] = array(
	'#type' => 'markup',
	'#prefix' => '<div id="box">',
	'#suffix' => '</div>',
	);
	$form['submit'] = array(
	'#type' => 'submit',
	'#ajax' => array(
		'callback' => 'contact_nameform_ajax_callback',
	  'method' => 'replace',
		'wrapper' => 'box'
),
	'#value' => t('test form'),
);
	return $form;
}

/*
 * Form Builder; display confirmation of submission
 */
function contact_nameform_confirm($form, &$form_state) {

}
/*
 * Form submit function and email
 */
function contact_nameform_submit($form, &$form_state) {
	$mailingList ="foo@foo.com";
	$from = "noreply@foo.com";
	
	drupal_mail(
		'contact_nameform', 
		'send', 
		$key, 
		$mailingList, 
		language_default(), 
		$form_state['values'], 
		variable_get('site_mail', NULL),
		$from, 
		TRUE
	);
	
	// POST Info
	$name = $form_state['values']['name'];
	$email = $form_state['values']['email'];
	$comments = $form_state['values']['comments'];

// New db_insert
db_insert('custom_contact')
		->fields(array(
			'name' => $name,
			'email' => $email,
			'comments' => $comments,
			'created' => REQUEST_TIME,
	))
->execute();


}

/*
 * hook_mail().
 */
function contact_nameform_mail($key, &$message, $params) {
	switch ($key) {
		case 'send':
			$contact = $params['contact'];
			$subject = variable_get('name');
			$body = variable_get('message');
			
			$message['to'] = $account->mail;
			$message['subject'] = $subject;
			$message['body'][] = $body;
			break;
	}
}

	function contact_nameform_ajax_callback(&$form, &$form_state) {
	  $element = $form['box'];
	  $element['#markup'] = "Clicked submit ({$form_state['values']['op']}): " . date('c');
	  
	  
	  return $element;
	}

?>

drupal_mail i believe might be producing the error but I am not completely sure.

If some one can help me just get a blank email sent, I can figure out the rest.

Here is the ajax error on submission:
