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 it's from your office or club and no individuals are singled out, send the thank you to the leader of the group, but write it to the group as a whole.
