When you work closely with individuals over a period of time, you may occasionally be exposed to personal issues that are not always joyous. A coworker may experience a death in the family or some other type of tragedy that requires a letter of condolence. Although a verbal comment is appreciated, a written letter will demonstrate that you understand the gravity of the matter and that it is important to you to convey your feelings in the matter.
