In the future, please wrap your code in the "code" tags. I did it for you this time.

If your original code is as you posted, all your functions are incorrectly indented. I presume you mean to have them all under the class MessageUser?

RE: code that takes inputs for user name amounts etc and then sends custom message - metulburr - Feb-11-2017

as sparkz said, you have your code incorrectly indented. The fact that you have all the methods dedented it is not apart of the class, and hence that object does not have those methods at all. Be extra careful with indentation in python...especially when copying/pasting code that it comes out as expected.

Also looks like you're missing comma's, if still an error after correcting indents

While other's are so overstocked in apostrophe's that they put them in place's where they aren't necessary :)

It makes up for various periods that have mysteriously gone missing. :P
