Of course it does.
However, variables are not the way to go. The mails are not parsed, so
variables won't do you any good. You'll have to use Placeholders. Something
like this:

$mail_template =
"Hi ##firstname## ##lastname##,
how are you...";

Now you can continue with str_replace():
$mail_content = str_replace('##firstname##',$fname,$mail_template);
$mail_content = str_replace('##lastname##',$lname,$mail_content);
