Range in Middle of the email body

I am working on a Code which can get the range/selection in the middle of the email body. The below code works a bit fine for me it does not captures the desired range in the middle of the email body. This will save my time to work manually.

Sub Selection_email()

Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim olApp As Object: Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Dim olMailItm As Object: Set olMailItm = olApp.CreateItem(0)
Dim rngTo As Range
Dim rngSubject As Range
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

If Err <> 0 Then

Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True

End If

Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With Active Sheet

Set rngTo = .Rng("E3")
Last = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 4).Value

End With

With oItem

.SentOnBehalfOfName = ""
.To = rngTo.Value
.Cc = ""
.Subject = "" & Last & ""
.body = "Hello," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "Welcome to My World"& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            **HERE I NEED THE CODE TO PASTE THE RANGE FROM THE EXCEL FILE IT SHOULD BE FROM "A1:D6"**
           "Thank you for your cooperation."
.Display.
If bStarted Then
oOutlookApp.Quit

End If

Set oOutlookApp = Nothing

End Sub

I'm assuming "A1:D6" is one merged ranged. You only want the top left cell in that case. If I've made an incorrect assumption let me know. .body = "Hello," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _ "Welcome to My World"& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _ Activesheet.range("A1").value & _ "Thank you for your cooperation."Replacing Activesheet with something more specific would also be a good idea but depends on your worksheets.

Edit

Using the RangeToHTML function found here: Paste specific excel range in outlook
Then change

 .body = "Hello," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "Welcome to My World"& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            **HERE I NEED THE CODE TO PASTE THE RANGE FROM THE EXCEL FILE IT SHOULD BE FROM "A1:D6"**
           "Thank you for your cooperation."

to

.HTMLBody = "Hello," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "Welcome to My World"& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            RangeToHTML(activesheet.range("A1:D6")) & _
           "Thank you for your cooperation."
