## Code

```php
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_before_order_table', function ( $order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text, $email ) {
    $message = 'Thank you for your order! We would love to hear what you think, so keep an eye out for a short review request next week.';

    if ( $sent_to_admin || ! $email || 'customer_completed_order' !== $email->id ) {
        return;
    }

    if ( $plain_text ) {
        echo esc_html( $message ) . "\n\n";
    } else {
        echo '<p>' . esc_html( $message ) . '</p>';
    }
}, 10, 4 );
```

## Notes

Change $message. Plain-text emails get the message without HTML.
