I am trying to write a simple Apex class to send out an email to one of our administrators with a list of the "Peer To Peer" objects that have not been fully approved. I am planning on scheduling this class to run by implementing the Schedulable interface. My problem is that I am not able to get the methods of the SingleEmailMessage class to accept any parameters! The PeerToPeerHoldReportBuilder class simply provides the content for the email, so I am pretty sure the problem resides in the code below where I am actually creating the email:

Also, when I say that the method won't accept parameters, I mean that I cannot save my class if I call .setToAddresses(toAddresses), or .setHtmlBody(body), or .setSubject(subject). This is mind boggling for me! The error I am receiving states" Unexpected character, expected ')' "

public with sharing class PeerToPeerHoldReportBuilder
{
PeerToPeerHoldReporter reporter = new PeerToPeerHoldReporter();
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String subject = 'Peer to Peer Report';
String body = reporter.ParseValues();
String[] toAddresses = new String[] {'lryan@enterasys.com'};

email.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
email.setHtmlBody(body);

email.setSubject(subject);
List<Messaging.SendEmailResult> result = Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.Email[] { email } ,false);

}

Any help would be appreciated, this is the third time I have picked this task back up and each time I cannot continue working with it because the issues with the email classes methods not accepting parameters.
