sp_send_dbmail - need new lines in body

I am using sp_send_dbmail and it is working fine.  I want to add some additional text into the @body parameter.  Is there a way to a insert a couple of blank lines to separate this new text?   Maybe a control code or something.

I know I can set the body_format parameter to HTML and insert <br> statements, but i would like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks.

CHAR(10) for CRLF and CHAR(13) for LF
Here we go.
DECLARE @TEXT AS VARCHAR(100)
SELECT @TEXT = 'THIS IS COOL'+CHAR(10)+'BUT THIS IS EVEN COOLER'
PRINT @TEXT

SELECT @TEXT = 'THIS IS COOL'+CHAR(13)+'BUT THIS IS EVEN COOLER'
PRINT @TEXT

Thanks, that worked perfectly.  I was missing the fact that i needed to declare and set the variable above rather than directly in the EXEC statement.
