Condolence Letter on Death of Employee
A condolence message is a heartfelt or sympathetic message you send to someone in a time of sadness, specifically, during the time of death.
Since a letter of condolence conveys a message of sympathy, it is often termed as a Sympathy Letter or Letter of Sympathy. Condolence Letters are personal or informal in nature but when used in an official setup they may have certain elements of formal letter writing. Official condolence letters are written by a company on death of an employee or his relative. Such letters also mention the outstanding achievements of the deceased to give some relief to the family. An official condolence letter should be sent immediately after the incident takes place.
