I would suggest you go through this walkthrough here:

and this is also very helpful:

- You need an email template with all your custom content
- you need a notification workflow containing the recipient Information  
- you need a MPR starting the workflow when the user checks the box
- FIM needs to know the email attribute of the approver to be able to send the mail
- the owner Attribute of the Group must be set, this is the recipient of the approval mail in case of the Default owner approval workflow. in your case you set the appropriate Attribute of the group
- and of cause the Connection between FIM and Exchange must be available. If not, you see a lot of Errors and warnings in the eventlog.
