This is a starter for 10.

# $list = Import-CSV "path\filename.csv" 
# $list = "WSearch","WinDefend" # all of these should be running

$list = "XblGameSave", "WSearch", "WinDefend" # Xbox service should be stopped


$computer =$env:computername # just running this against the local machine for testing purposes

$ShouldSendEmail = $false

$failedServices=@()


ForEach ($service in $list) { 

    $status = (Get-Service -Name $service -ComputerName $computer).Status
    # If you give the file a header for example Name, then you need to change $service to $service.Name

    If ($status -ne 'Running') {
        #email should be sent.
        $ShouldSendEMail = $true
        $failedServices +=  New-Object -TypeName PSObject -property @{
             Computer=$computer
             Name=$service;
             Status=$status}  
        } 

    Else {
        # Do something or nothing
    }

}

If ($ShouldSendEMail) {
    $failedServices
    Write-Host Send email
    } 

    Else {
    Write-Host Dont send email
    }
