Dear Chief Scribe,
I know we have not always seen eye-to-eye, but I wished to offer my condolences.
It was wretched fate that befell Martin and it is my sincerest hope that those responsible were handled accordingly.
Regards,
Estellise Azimi
P.S. The memorial statue is a vile thing in poor taste. If it was placed there by one of your subordinates, make certain that they remove it.
