Sample Condolence Mail on Death of Colleague's Father Mother

Condolence messages are not just formalities that you carry out when someone passes away by just sending across the messages with a couple of regular lines of condolences. These messages are supposed to be deep and honest from the heart.

You need to word it personally with words of remorse clearly being visible by barely going through the message. Hence, it is important that you think about the person who passed away and write something about him/her viz. your memories with him/her.

Here are a couple of formats of condolence messages on death of the father or mother of a person's colleague.
