How do you add a dynamic number of list items to notification email?

    How do you add a dynamic number of list items to notification email?

    Scenario:  2 SharePoint lists which are "linked" via a reference column, essentially providing a one to many relationship.  A workflow is triggered when a certain condition is met in the "master" list.  This cumulates in a notification email which should list details of all the related entries in the "child" list.  Need content of 4 columns from "child" list. Obviously the number of related "child" entries is dynamic.

    So far I have used the "query list" action for each column I want to retrieve and add to collection variables.  Use "For Each" loop and potentially collection actions.   I'm not clear how I can build a variable up that collates/appends all the information for insertion into the notification email.

    Alternatively is there a way to dynamically create variables based on the number of returned items from the "child" list?

    Any help would be appreciated.
