" "We would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your family. Here are some suggestions for expressing sympathy clearly and supportively to the bereaved.Email is fine, but avoid texting. If you knew the person who died, or your colleague has talked to you about his loved one, share a memory in your condolence. Please know that I'm here for you if you need anything. Comforting colleagues during tough times is important. Use our tips and condolences messages to coworkers and offer your heartfelt support. Cards can be sent to express sympathy, but notes of condolence are permissible only from intimate friends. It's not a letter everyone can write to a grieving family member or friend. But it was the best one I got from anyone who was close to me.
