How to avoid hardcoded newline from email body?

I have an application that sends email with following contents..

$message= "Hi, some_content  \n some_content_on_new_line".

I want some_content_on_new_line on new line in email, but when the email is sent, "\n" is not interpolated to a newline character. Instead it is displayed as a backslash followed by an 'n'. How can I prevent this? This is my email config. 

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)

If \n is showing in the email content then most likely the problem is the use of single quotes to define the string literal.

$message= 'Hi, some_content  \n some_content_on_new_line';
// this will show the \n

$message= "Hi, some_content  \n some_content_on_new_line";
// this will interpolate the newline properly
