+Hi,
+
+Someone using the email address {{ contact_email }} invited you to share your expenses for "{{ project_name }}".
+
+It's as simple as saying what did you pay for, for whom, and how much did it cost? We are taking care of the rest.
+
+You can log in using this link: {{ join_link }}.
+
+Once logged-in, you can use the following link: {{ short_link }}
+If your cookie gets deleted or if you log out, you will need to log back in using the first link.
+
+See you!
