bepress response:
1. I’ve made the first set of changes (the review recommendation wording).
2. I’m afraid I can’t add a table to the email. Would you like to send me a Word document that I can upload? I can link to that in the review request email and you can ask reviewers to upload the completed document in their review report?

Regarding the dates, when you request the review, you can modify the dates in the top section of the request (I’ve attached a screenshot). Toggle to the top box and set the date to April 3rd and that will automatically be pulled into the email.
