Have you seen the EXAMPLE CRON FILE section of the man 5 crontab?

EXAMPLE CRON FILE
      # use /bin/sh to run commands, overriding the default set by cron
      SHELL=/bin/sh
      # mail any output to `paul', no matter whose crontab this is
      MAILTO=paul
      #
      # run five minutes after midnight, every day
