Dear Mrs. LLorente,

The commandant of the Marine Corps has entrusted me to express his deep regret that your son, Juan died in action in (Forward Operating Base Alpha in Iraq) on (3-10-04). Juan was found unresponsive in his tent, and all efforts to resuscitate him failed. The Commandant extends his deepest sympathy to you and your family in your loss.

Sincerely yours,

Commanding Officer Brian Nelson Jameson.
