New RFI has Been Created by { !User }
Branch: {!relatedto.Branch__c}
Area For Delivery: {!relatedto.Area_for_Delivery__c}

Hi,

New RFI has Been Created by { !User }  this will give you id

New RFI has Been Created by { !$User.firstname } Try this one

Address: {!relatedto.Customer__c.BillingAddress} here relation ship is not correct

Address: {!relatedto.Customer__r.BillingAddress} when to try to access parent record then user " __r " instead of "__c".

Hope this wll help you.
