Letter Writing
Letter to someone who is seriously ill
Hi,
It's quite difficult to write a letter to a friend whose father is seriously ill and sounds not so good. I can think of nothing but "sorry to hear that" ,but that sounds not sincere enough. What else I could say, can I say "I'm writing to convey my sincere sympathy to..." Will that hurt too? I would appreciate your ideas! Thank you.

Just continuing ahava yin's post....Will it be correct if we write : "I was (am ?) greatly saddened to know about your father's ill health........" or "I was (am ?) extremely worried to know...." or " I was(?) deeply (or much) distressed to know....". I am not sure if these sentences are relevant or not. Could anybody please help?
/was (am ?)/
/was (am ?)/

Hi,
1) I am greatly saddened to learn[or hear] about your father's ill health.......
Yes, that works.
2) I was (am ?) extremely worried to know....
Probably not. You are not worried. You might be concerned? [1] is definitely.
2a) I am concerned about your father's illness. [sounds a bit odd to me, but it is okay. We are usually not concerned
