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.)
