trouble changing wording of account approval email

We are currently trying to adjust the text for when an email is sent to a user that has just been approved. Its default text is:
"Your customer status has been updated. Thank you for shopping with us. We look forward to your business." which I believe is the default text... I have changed the
secret_admin_dir/includes/languages/english/customers.php
to:

define('EMAIL_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGE_MESSAGE', '<p> Welcome to Graham International online shopping, offering luxury watch bands, phone covers and dog collars.</p>



  <p>  Your wholesale status has been approved and you may now shop our collections 24/7 at www.grahamintl.com.</p>



  <p>  We look forward to working with you!</p>');

But it still sends an email saying:
Your customer status has been updated. Thank you for shopping with us. We
look forward to your business.

We have done a complete download of both the regular includes and the admin includes and cannot find that text in any of them. Does anyone know what we are missing? We have even gone as far as to search through the whole database for it and still cannot find it...

forgot:
version:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8

Yes, you are in the right place... Try this wording please..```php
define('EMAIL_CUSTOMER_STATUS_CHANGE_MESSAGE', '<p>Welcome to Graham International online shopping, offering luxury watch bands, phone covers and dog collars.<br /><br />Your wholesale status has been approved and you may now shop our collections 24/7 at http://www.grahamintl.com.<br /><br />We look forward to working with you!</p>');

Haredo is right in you need a good code cleaning, but there is technically nothing wrong with what you have there. Nothing that should cause your email to still go out with a define that no longer exists.

You should use the developers tool kit in Admin->Tools->Developers Tool Kit, and using the bottom search area, search for Your customer status has been update to see which file on your server still contains that text. something must.

When you find it, update it with Haredos version of your define text.
