Remember to take care while copying the standard text to create your own. Some browsers and operating systems may not transfer the line breaks appropriately.

For best results copy the below text into the Local Customisation Field.
 
Hi {$a->firstname},
 
A new account has been created for you at '{$a->sitename}' and you have been issued with a new temporary password.
 
Your current login information is now: username: {$a->username} password: {$a->newpassword} (you will have to change your password when you login for the first time).
 
To start using '{$a->sitename}', login at {$a->link}
In most mail programs, this should appear as a blue link which you can just click on.
 
If that doesn't work, then cut and paste the address into the address line at the top of your web browser window.
 
Cheers from the '{$a->sitename}' administrator, {$a->signoff}
 
You may use the following Placeholders:
