Dwayne,

I'm sure you're probably doing it incorrectly. One of the issues I originally had was I kept making it say Sam loves Treehouse when it was supposed to be the other way around. Also, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to complete this challenge with the format() function but concatenate works too. Here are both ways to complete this:

name = 'Sam'
treehouse = 'Tree' + 'house'
email_greeting = '{} loves {}'.format(treehouse, name)

...and...

name = 'Sam'
treehouse = 'Tree' + 'house'
email_greeting = treehouse + ' loves ' + name

They both worked for me and if neither of these work for you, I'm not sure what the issue is. Hope this helps.

Cheers, Sam

Great your first code worked for me. It's surprising though, because I thought I was trying the same answer.
