1 If your Sympathy Letter concerns a death, be sure to mention the deceased's name and the circumstances that caused the loss of life. 2  Be honest; don't hesitate to use the word death or note the actual cause of death. 3  Share your personal sadness.
When you cannot meet the person personally, you should send a sympathy card to offer your words of condolence. Though there are no specific rules for writing a sympathy card, there are few things you should keep in mind. See that you keep the sympathy card simple and use a bit informal language.
