Subject: Sympathies on Your losses After the Fire
Dear Isabella,
I was deeply sorry to hear that a fire broke out last night at the apartment building where you live in and the fire ruined many rooms. And I am very eager to know your present condition as whether you and your family is all right now. I do hope there is no one injured in this fire and no much property losses here.
Please accept my sympathy for the shock you and your family have suffered from this fire disaster. If there is anything that I can do to help, please feel free to give me a call and I will lend you a hand readily and willingly.
Wish you and your family well.
Faithfully yours,

温馨提示
★ 例文写作要点：
1. 听闻对方所居住的公寓楼发生火灾，对此表示难过，询问对方及家人现况；
2. 对此次火灾事件表示慰问，表示愿意提供帮助；
3. 致以祝福。
★ 慰问类E-mail综述：
慰问类E-mail通常是向有关集体或是个人，表示宽慰、致意或是问候，可以分为两类：一是对贡献者的问候；二是对受难者的宽慰。
撰写慰问类E-mail，通常要注意4点：
1. 言简意赅，避免长篇大论的泛泛而谈。
2. 要根据对象来确定内容和重点。如果是对做出的贡献和取得优异成绩的单位或个人表示慰问，重点慰问他们所付出的艰辛，同时鼓励其继续努力，做出更大贡献。如果是对遭遇灾难、不幸的人们进行慰问，表达同情、关怀，并鼓励人们振作起来、战胜困难。
3. 要注意措词、语气。感情要真切、诚恳，切不要内容空洞、言过其实。
4. 要及时，最好是在事件发生的两三天之内，否则，可能会无法达到预期的目的。
