Example 1: Letter to staff on employee relative death

Memorandum

FROM:

DATE:

SUBJECT: A time for support

By now I am sure many of you are aware of the loss suffered by Evelyn Wood, our chief auditor. Her husband of 27 years, Charles, died suddenly yesterday evening. All indications are that it was a heart attack. Those of you who knew Charles were probably aware of his heart condition.

There are no definite memorial service or funeral plans at this time, but they will be forthcoming. Any offer of support you might wish to make to Evelyn I am sure will be much appreciated.

I hope you will all keep Evelyn and her family in your thoughts and prayers. She is a valuable member of our family here.

Example 2: Death of Employee’s Spouse

Memorandum

TO:

FROM:

DATE:

SUBJECT: Loss of family member

The son of David Jones, 7-year-old Terrence, was killed over the weekend while playing in the front yard. Those are the only details available at this time. This has hit David and his wife, Jocelyn, very hard.

David will be out of the office the rest of this week, and he may or may not be back next week. In the interim I would like Carl to handle David’s accounts in conjunction with myself.

Funeral arrangements are pending. Please keep David and Jocelyn in your thoughts and prayers. I know they will appreciate your support.
