Best Wording for Condolence E-mail?

I was asked today what would be the best wording for a condolence e-mail by someone who identified themselves as "not good with words."

The best wording would be to send a formal condolence card and not use e-mail for such an important communication. E-mail is not meant to replace all forms of communication. At such an difficult time, it is important that those who want to show they care do so in a way that is genuine. Receiving your card in the snail mail will give comfort and solace more than any e-mail ever could.

If you are not good with words, purchase a good old fashioned condolence card and send it by snail mail or drop it off personally at your friend's home -- now that shows genuine feelings and concern for their loss! Find a card that is in line with your feelings and sign it - no additional words are necessary.

Making these efforts will let your friend know you are truly concerned and will reflect your sincerity over those who just pop off an e-mail at such a sad time where personal actions by those who care can make all the difference in the world.
