Couple issues Malcolm. You cannot re-declare the variables. So remove let in front of any variables you have already declared. Second your variables shouldn’t be in quotes in msg. So something like firstName + “ “ + lastName. Anything you need to add that’s not in variables like spaces or “:” would need to be in quotes.
