A condolence letter is a must write on the death of a person that you know. It should be written on paper, preferably without any mistakes, as an e-mail or in your handwriting. You can see the sample below in which condolence letter is written to a cousin on the death of his mother, or we can say on the death of an aunt. You can show your support to your cousin through this letter and can ask him if we want any help.
Death of a family member is one of the most hurting experiences anyone has to go through. At this crucial time, the least you could help is by a few kind words and a little support. Remember to write this letter in the most helpful and supportive manner. This is the only time you can show your sincere concern for someone and their family. An aunt is also considered a very close relative in a family. An aunt is just like a mother in disguise. Losing an aunt can be a heartbreaking time for some people. You can not replace the lost, but you can always be there when the grieving need you. Remember that this is the only time you can prove your actual love support and care for the grieving family.

Dear Thomas,
I am in deep sorrow to know about the death of Mrs. Jo L. Grider. Please accept condolences on this unfortunate happening. She was a very friendly and cheerful lady and will always be alive in my heart. I remember the time of our childhood when I came to your house with my parents; aunt loved me so much and cooked all my favorite recipes. I can’t forget that time.
I know that this is a tough time for you and your family. I and my wife’s blessings are always with you. Always remember that aunt is watching us and her blessings are also with us. Please don’t hesitate to ask for any personal or financial help.
Thanks,
Yours truly,
Barton
