Email a Friend template missing

Guys,
I resolved the issues with my upgrade from Beta 2 to RC1 and it's working well now. All the upgrade steps were completed without error except one.
I do not have an existing email template for Send to Friend. So I cannot perform the Step 1 of the post-upgrade instructions. The template S"end Product to Friend" isn't listed as a choice.
Suggestions?

No problem, thanks for the html.
What do I use for the FROM address, TO address and the trigger options?

Hello Joe,
There isn't a trigger, it's set on the email settings page. The from address and to address are set by the customer when they use the feature.

Won't let me save it - says From and To addresses require a value.

Hello Joe,
just put something into the fields then. We ignore the values.
