You have to use jelly tags. Go through Jelly Tags - ServiceNow Wiki

I took a bit of your script and this is how you can make it. Hopefully I'm good enough to explain so you understand how to use it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<g:evaluate var="jvar_gr" object="true">

        var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");

  gr.addQuery('sys_id',gs.getUserID());

    gr.query();

    gr;

</g:evaluate>

<j:while test="${jvar_gr.next()}">

dear   ${jvar_gr.getValue('email')}

</j:while>    

</j:jelly>

I learned my first jelly things while looking at the TechNows jelly episodes. You can find the first one here: TechNow Episode 1 | ServiceNow Jelly Scripting Part 1 of 3 - YouTube

If you want to use jelly variables you need 2 things.

1. Put jelly="true" in the evaluate like this:

<g:evaluate jelly="true">

2. when you refer to a jelly variable in the evaluate you need to put jelly. before the variable name like this:

var users_email = jelly.jvar_this_is_the_jelly_variablename

if you got any other questions, feel free to ask
