I assume you want to use PHP for this?

Scheduling a script is the hardest part, and searching around is the easiest way to solve that.
Then all you have to do is create a PHP script, preferably not anywhere accessible over the web, that sends the emails. You can do anything in it you normally would: database access, include and require files, etc. There are a couple limitations, like how some $_SERVER variables might not be available and how anything you output will be emailed to you as a result of the cron job, but they are few and far between. Keep them in mind and you'll be fine.
