Changing the Task Overdue email format in MOSS 2007 document approval workflow

Question

How can I change the Email sent when a document in the out of the box document approval workflow is overdue.

The email I get is something like

---

Task assigned to Name here on 7/13/2009 is overdue. Due by 7/3/2009 Please approve document1 From: Someone Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 9:50 AM
To complete this task: 1. Review Document. 2. Perform the specific activities required for this task. 3. Use the Edit this task button to mark the task as completed.

There is some info here on customising alert templates:

More detailed info here using INotificationEventHandler:

I think the Alert Template Name is SPAlertTemplateType.Tasks
