Dear Mrs. Mouse

I am writing to regretfully inform you of the death of your husband, Mr. Mouse, recently killed during his heroic service. I have had the pleasure of serving alongside Mr. Mouse for a number of weeks, and let me say there are few mice among us as brave as your husband.

Last evening while on patrol, your husband came upon an enemy trap. Mr. Mouse had discovered a stockpile of oats that would have been invaluable in aiding our efforts. Sadly though, Mr. Mouse became enveloped in a particularly sticky situation.

I know it may be some small consolation, but Mr. Mouse fought bravely to the end, struggling even after he found himself snared in the enemy glue. Sadly, the enemy carried him off before we were able to reach him.

Sincerely,
Capt. M. Mouse
