I would like to send a script by email to clients. But they would not know to use terminal or chmod. If they would just have to double clic on file, it would be perfect.

The problem is getting the script to run. By default, scripts are not executable. This is a security feature that makes it a lot harder for malware to affect Linux, compared to Windows. So, the recipient would have to save the script, enable execute and then run it.
or in a terminal or in "run command" menu selection just sh scriptname -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
