About

## When to send it

Send it for news that should come from a person rather than a team. It opens with the sender's name and role, greets the reader by name, carries one message and one button, and ends with a postal address and an unsubscribe link.

Values

## What each send fills in

Required values have to come with every send. The rest fall back to the default shown here.
