Dear colleague. please find this standard letter to issue in the case of a death abroad. Please fill in the blanks with the name of the unfortunate party. Please detach this advice from the body of the letter to avoid causing offence.
Dear Mrs ******
I am terribly afraid to tell you that the great Naomi is no more. We all knew she was never one for speaking much and she was always reluctant to eat more than a morsel. So it seems tragic that that her demise should have happened thus: she was feasting upon a single caper and, rarely for her, voicing an opinion on the price of fish. All of a sudden, a cockerel crowed louder than Vesuvius' eruption. Dear Naomi choked on her caper and was lost from us for good.
Yours..
