Need helping sending an email from a custom button on Lead object

I will preface this with saying that I do not code.  I have a field on the Lead object called Distributor_Contact_email__c.  I would like to create a button that when clicked, would send an email template to that email address.  I found the code below in this forum, but it's not working.  Any help appreciated.  Thank you.

location.replace('/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p24={!Lead.Distributor_Contact_email__c}&p3_lkid=
{! Lead.Id }&retURL=%2F{!Lead.Id }&template_id=00XC0000001LMO5')

Thank you for that.  On the template, the merge fields are not populated.  Do you know the reason for that?
