Write a letter of condolence to your friend on the death of his father

Dear Mr. Sanyal,

No words can express the deep shock and grief I felt, when I heard about the sad and untimely demise of your dear father. He was, undoubtedly, a man of great courage, rare virtues and an endearing personality. His absence would always be felt.

I offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I pray to God to give you courage and fortitude to bear this unbearable loss.

Yours at this moment of great grief,
