Issue with email notification containing empty variable values from Request Item

[Rhonda9]

I created a querie business rule to restrict request items that belong to a data group to only that group.  The querie is working as expected with the exception of when an email is triggered from creation of request item, the requested for and request item fields are blank when receive email notification.   This is only happening with the request item that I created a before business rule for.   When I make the br inactive, and create a request item the fields are populated on the notification email. 

Any guidance on this would be appreciated.... 

Requested Item and Requested for is blank
