Shell Scripting n00b

Hey Guys!

I was hoping for some help with a simple script I'm trying to use. I have the script set up to pull some simple information out of a database .txt file and sed it into a preexisting template for assignment cover letters. The problem seems to be someplace in the sed statement but I can't find it. Any insights? Code attached. TIA!
