as string() for email message

[Ron Chatterjee]

email_send_by =  auth_user.first_name; 

mail.send(to=['my_email_address'],subject='New email',message = email_send_by )

Getting an error since I need to pass the message as a string. Any thoughts?

auth.user.first_name

Had a typo in there and worked!
