Hello Preslav,

You can use the shell command "date" to get the local time before sending the mail.

example :

timestamp=`date`

Then you can use the $timestamp variable

It will display something like that by default : 

Wed Aug 16 10:50:50 CEST 2017

You can also customize the date as you want using arguments with command "date"

Regards
