Unable to fetch the merge field in VisualForce Email Template

I am using a Visualforce email Template. I am unable to fetch merge fields. Below is the code:

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Volunteer still needed for a shift" recipientType="User" relatedToType="GW_Volunteers__Volunteer_Shift__c">
<messaging:plainTextEmailBody >

Volunteer is still needed for a future shift. Please click below to see the shift.
https://cs18.salesforce.com/{!relatedToType.Id}

</messaging:plainTextEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

When I try to save it, it gives error like
Error:Unknown property 'String.Id'

Hi Abhishek,
For the link to your custom object, the syntax should be:  

https://cs18.salesforce.com/{!relatedTo.Id}

That should fix it!
