Yes you should use $1 inside of a loop. You can provide all names on the command line to mail, however since you are to personalise the message to each, you need to create a new message for each. So, looping through each parameter on the command line you pick up their name, find their full name in passwd, and send the mail message to them.

The end of document token that you supply on the << line needs to match what you use at the end. Right now you've got mismatched strings.
