fail to add new line to email body for sendmail -t | Unix |

I have a Scenario where I am bit struggling to implement this simple change Need to print Body text in proper format

Lets assume I have parameters defined :

EmailSubjectDemo="New Message : `date`"
EmailbodyDemo="Hi Bro How \\nare \\nyou"
EmailToDemo="[email protected],[email protected]"
EmailFromDemo="[email protected],[email protected]"

Now my Sendmail code :

(
   echo "From : $EmailFromDemo"
   echo "To   : $EmailToDemo"
   echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
   echo "Subject: $EmailSubjectDemo"
   echo "Content-Type: text\html"
   echo -e "$EmailbodyDemo"

) sendmail -t

This echo -e "$EmailbodyDemo" is not printing data in proper new line format even i tried with printf $EmailbodyDemo but no luck

Expected output of Email Body :

Hi Bro How 
are you

Note : This -e and printf does not work at my end

I am not allowed to create a separate text file and call it in sendmail code like cat file.txt

Hi Bro How 

are you

Any other approach is appreciated

This approach worked for me

Writing the Body text content within html tags

#Pre-Defined parameters 

EmailSubjectDemo="New Message : `date`"
EmailbodyDemo="<html> <body> Hi Bro How <br> are <br> you </body> </html>"
EmailToDemo="[email protected],[email protected]"
EmailFromDemo="[email protected],[email protected]"

#Sending mail 

(
   echo "From : $EmailFromDemo"
   echo "To   : $EmailToDemo"
   echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
   echo "Subject: $EmailSubjectDemo"
   echo "Content-Type: text\html"
   echo -e "$EmailbodyDemo"

) sendmail -t
