Using a verbatim string to span multiple lines

Today during a code review, I noticed the following code snippet(I changed the code a little bit to proof my point):

	public string CreateMultilineMessage()
	{
	var message= new StringBuilder("This is the first line");
	message.AppendLine("This is the second line");
	message.AppendLine("This is the third line");
	return message.ToString()
	}

Although I was happy to see the usage of a StringBuilder to optimize the string concatination process, in this case, as the full string message was static, it would have been easier to just use a verbatim string literal to create the multiline statement at once:

	public string CreateMultilineMessage()
	{
	return @"This is the first line
	This is the second line
	This is the third line";
	}
