Even more basic, no php required (but not suitable for internet use as it
relies on your browser knowing what to do with a mailto link:

 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Dropdown Value to Email</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <form method="POST" action=mailto:you@xxxxxxx>
 <select name="loan_process">
   <option value="Purchase">Purchase</option>
   <option value="Construct">Construct Home</option>
   </select><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>
