The "\n" is just a new line.

Your checkboxes are all named things like "1-877-HOMECASH" and
"1-877-APPLY NOW", so '$InterestedNumber' isn't going to have any of
their values.

You probably want to move into the relm of array's. For each one of
your checkboxes, you can do this...

<input type="checkbox" name="InterestedNumber[]" value="1-877-HOMECASH">
<input type="checkbox" name="InterestedNumber[]" value="1-877-APPLY NOW">

So on, and so forth. By naming them in this way, it will pass the value
to your form processor as a numerical array of all the selected items.
When you want to process it, just loop thru the array.
