You'll probably have to deconstruct append_html_boilerplate's internals, 
and build a custom prepend_html_boilerplate sub to suit.

(Seriously, this is a bad idea.  Marketing emails should be composed 
complete, not modified in transit, and any company that started stuffing 
non-marketing mail full of promotional crap - particularly at the *top* 
of the message, as your client is asking for - is likely one that would 
lose my business, and the same with many other people.  Companies are 
also starting to get fined for pushing the limits like this;  if someone 
has unsubscribed from the newsletter/marketing emails, they DO. NOT. 
WANT. PROMOTIONAL. CONTENT. - and the regulators are listening to 
consumers.)
