Sending Custom Emails to Multiple Recipients

Question

Hi, 
 I am fairly new to Appian and am currently in the middle of designing a process model that sends emails to the list of employees, with the number of their respective overdue and due soon tasks. I am having a problem setting up the Multiple Node Instances to send emails to more than one employee with their respective information. 
 
 Background on the Process Model 
 
 I need to run the counter initialization, send email, and increment counter multiple time but one after another. The process model should: 
 check if it's noon. if yes, query information once. if no, just sit there. 
 then, 
 First, initialize the counter. 
 Second, Set up the email recipent 
 Third, send the email 
 Fourth, increment the counter 
 (A variable amount of times)
