        [Placeholder("{CONTACTNAME}")]
        public string ContactName { get; set; }

        [Placeholder("{USERNAME}")]
        public string UserName { get; set; }

        [Placeholder("{DATECREATED}","MMM dd, yyyy")]
        public string CreationDate { get; set; }

    using CodeHelper.Core.PlaceHolder;

    var _generalText = "{CONTACTNAME}, your account has been created on {DATECREATED} with username {USERNAME}\n\nDon't forget the following important dates:\n{DATES}'";
    var _location = new Location() {ContactName = "Frederik", UserName= "FrederikvanLierde", CreationDate = "2022-04-01" };    
    country.SpecialDates.Add(new DateTime(2022, 8, 1));
    country.SpecialDates.Add(new DateTime(2022, 4, 1));
    
    _generalText = _text.Replace(_location,false,FormatTypes.MARKDOWN));
