When a project earns a badge they now get a congratulatory message flashed at the top of the page.  However, I’d also like to automatically send the project entry owner an email, per:

  https://github.com/linuxfoundation/cii-best-practices-badge/issues/462

Below is a draft of this automatic congratulatory email.  Comments?
