Hi Thushal,
We should use "refer to" (something) as we are drawing attention from the former to the latter. The preposition "to" expresses a direction towards the latter.
Examples:
I can refer your case to my superior (living thing).
Please refer to your itinerary (non-living thing).
If you "refer your email" the reader may wonder who you are referring your email to.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Lance

Hello there. ^_^
It would be better to say:
"Please refer to the e-mail below."
However, your second sentence is correct. It needs "to". ^_^
The first sentence, "Please refer the below e-mail", sounds like the e-mail is a person, and you're going to refer it to another person.

'Please refer to' means the same as 'please see', where as 'please refer' without the 'to' means 'please pass on to/send on'
