Sending an email via AppleScript and Dialogue Boxes

Question

I am trying to write a script to send an email via Mail of which the body of the message is from a dialogue box. I decided upon using Automator and AppleScript. I have, so far, the following workflow:
1. Run Apple Script:
set mypass to text returned of (display dialog "What are you doing?" with icon 1 buttons {"Tweet", "Cancel"} default button "Tweet" default answer "")
2. New Mail Message.
3. Send Outgoing Messages.
4. Run Apple Script:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "System Events" to set visible of process "Mail" to false
return input
end run
I wand this workflow to allow the user to input an answer and this answer to be in the message field of the email. I can use the "Ask for Text" action in Automator but it does not allow for any control over the appearance of the dialogue box. The first script returns the result "<whatever is typed>" (ie. "Test") in the Results field below the script box, as does the "Ask for Text" action but it does not insert it into the message. Does anyone know what is going wrong here?
I am relatively new to AppleScript which is why I am using Automator but would like any information on how this could be done entirely in AppleScript. My previous attempts at sending email using script was unsuccessful.
My aim is to save this as an Application with a proper icon.
