Here are some basic guidelines to use when preparing a letter explaining that one of your team members died: Use a direct, serious subject line. Announce the employees death. Only include appropriate details. Reflect on the team members positive attributes. Share details about the funeral or reception.
Close family should be told of the death as soon as possible, often within hours of the event if possible. Most people want to hear this type of news in person. If thats not possible for example, if they live far away or are traveling then its also acceptable to let them know over the phone.
Its best to talk slowly and gently using plain, simple language. You may want to warn them that you have bad (or sad) news to try to make it less of a shock. It is usually clearer to say that someone has died than to say things such as gone to sleep, gone away or that you have lost the person.
Suggested wording: It is with great sadness that the family of (deceased name) announce (his/her) passing. (Deceased name) will be sadly missed by . Fondly remembered by.
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our colleague and friend, (name), who passed away on (date). (Name) passed away unexpectedly/had suffered with a prolonged illness in recent years/or was involved in an accident. We will all miss him/her more than words can express.
