Copy email address from clipboard to outgoing Mail message

All:

Easy one, I hope. I've searched high and low for a solution (that I'm pretty
sure is obvious, but is beyond me).

I want to copy an email address from the clipboard to the To: field in an
outgoing mail message in macOS Mail.

So far I have:

        tell application "System Events"
                set customer to (the clipboard as text)
        end tell
        return input

        tell application "Mail"
                set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties
{subject:"Blah, blah, blah", to recipient:customer, content:"La-de-dah"}
        end tell

I'm sure it's something easy I'm missing.

Thanks in advance,
mm
