In my humble opinion the most important thing you can do with your introductory email is to be welcoming and very friendly. Rather than giving the new affiliate a list of things that they need to be doing talk to them and explain why you are with SFI. Certainly encourage them to complete their profile and get their first 500 VersaPoints and explain the benefits of logging in daily and completing their to do list.
By giving them too much information in their first day you run the risk of frightening them off rather than encouraging them. During their first week send out more emails further explaining how and what SFI is and further tasks that they could be completing if they wish to make their new venture an success. Don't go overboard in the first week but do explain to them the advantages of making EA, and also the advantage of staying in the E365 class group competition.
I realize everyone has their own views on what their affiliates should be doing we also have to be realistic about the results we are going to get. Encouragement always works far better than the press-gang method of helping recruits.
I hope this helps and wish you every success with SFI.
