Any text must be enclosed within quotes.
Any field data must then be concatenated into the text, using the &
symbol.

= "Your parcel will be delivered on " & [DeliveryDay] & " at " &
[Deliverytime]

Use an expression similar to this as the Control Source of that textbox:

="Your parcel will be delivered on " & [DeliveryDay] & " at " &
[Deliverytime]


Note that you may want to use the Format function to display the two fields
in the correct format:

="Your parcel will be delivered on " & Format([DeliveryDay], "mmmm d\,
yyyy") & " at " & Format([Deliverytime], "h\:nn AMPM")
