Mail command in script

Dear Concern,

We use following mail command in a script. We want to modify below command in script so that we can set mail as CC, BCC and From field of mail also can be modified. Please suggest.

Code:
echo "The SFTP user account '"$username"' will be expired soon. If you want to extend your account, please send a mail to sftp@no.smtp.mail keeping CC your Line Manager mentioning new account timeline with proper justification." | mail -s "SFTP account about to be expiration notification" "$username"

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment edit by bakunin: please use CODE-tags for code, data and terminal output as required by the forum rules. Thank you.

Please have a search for "mail" in these forums. It will produce roundabout one gazillion of hits explaining how to do exactly this. (Tip: consider using shell variables)

I hope this helps.
