I don't have to nothing but send the email, but just wanted to see if their was some way of getting it done in the email as they want it. Maybe I did not make this very clear in my previous emails?

If you really are *that* time strapped why not just link to a blank form where they fill their information in the blanks and then it just emails you a dump of the form struct? IMO this not worse for usability but in fact much better.... how many people have filled in online forms on a webpage, and how many have followed a neat structure in an email?
