Dear Mr. Forrest,
Word of the recent death of your brother has just come to me, and I hasten to offer condolences.
I had the privilege of knowing your brother in years past, and I realize your great loss. He was a fine and brilliant man, and he will not be forgotten by the many who admired and respected him.
Please convey my sympathy and my warm personal regards to all your family.
Cordially yours,
Jack
