Insert Variables Into A Passed String

Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to make a custom message. What I have is a form with a TEXTAREA named MAILFROM. I want to be able to write an e-mail in that section like so: Dear $username. When I press submit, I want the query to cycle through a list of names (got this part) and where it finds the variables in the text, replaces them with the proper content. Like: Dear steven How can I do something like this? Thanks.
