   One more thing - I think its natural that once a dev sends an email to 1 person, they may want figure out how to send it to multiple. Without getting into personalization which could be its own recipe, I would have also liked to see a cc example.

   That's something I had to google, and couldn't find an example so came up with the following by looking at what setCcRecipients expects:

           String[] ccEmails = {"[email protected]", "[email protected]"};
           HashMap<String, Object>[] ccRecipientsMap = (HashMap<String, Object>[]) new HashMap[ccEmails.length];
   
           int i = 0;
           for ( String email : ccEmails){
               HashMap<String, Object> hashMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
               hashMap.put("address", email);
               ccRecipientsMap[i] = hashMap;
               i++;
           }
   
          SendWithUsSendRequest request = new SendWithUsSendRequest()
                   .setEmailId(EMAIL_ID_WELCOME_EMAIL)
                   .setRecipient(recipientMap)
                   .setCcRecipients(ccRecipientsMap)
                   .setSender(senderMap)
                   .setEmailData(emailDataMap);
           SendReceipt sendReceipt = sendwithusAPI.send(request);
   

   Once you have the cc, bcc is a piece of cake!

   props to Tufan Görel's article from 2016 which demonstrates how to create a HashMap as a store - typically we see an ArrayList for this structure.

   Thanks @headwinds! I really appreciate the level of detail you've gone into here.

   I've added your recommendations into #49 and hopefully simplified the example a bit (who needs two template IDs?).
