The condolence message is not a mere formality but an expression of the inner feelings of the mind. The writer must be careful in the selection of words. The language of the message must be simple and clear.
If someone is capable of assisting the family of the deceased financially or in another way, one should also mention it in the letter. Such an offer shows one’s genuine concern for the victim’s family whether it is accepted or not.
