Laravel - Emails not including data when sent via Queue - laravel-5.3

Question

I'm trying to set up a Contact Form and all is going well. Set up my Controller with ->send(), all works fine (takes a bit of time). When I set it up to work with ->queue(), seems to work fine (no delay), job is set up, mail is sent when I dispatch. But this time my mail template does not include the data sent to the Mailer.
My Controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Mail\Contact;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
class PagesController extends Controller
{
public function sendContact(Request $request)
{
Mail::to('webform#email.com')
->queue(new Contact($request));
return redirect('/contact')->with('status', 'Message sent. Thanks!');
}
}
My Mailer (App\Mail\Contact):
class Contact extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build(Request $request)
{
$subject = 'Web Message from: ' . $request->name;
return $this->from('myemail#email.com')
->subject($subject)
->view('emails.contact-template')
->with([
'name' =>$request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'message' => $request->message,
'date' => $request->date,
]);
}
}

Answer 1

The problem was that I needed to declare the variables as public. Below is the solution that eventually worked:
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class Contact extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
public $request;
public $name;
public $from;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct(Request $request)
{
$this->request = $request->all();
$this->name = $request->name;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
$subject = 'Webform messsage from: ' . $this->name;
$from = 'webform#mail.com';
return $this
->from( $from )
->subject($subject)
->view('emails.contact-template');
}
}
