This workplace condolence letter among coworkers offers sympathy for a job loss.
Dear {Recipient},
I was dismayed to come to work and find my favorite coworker gone. I am so sorry about the layoffs. I will miss our {office relationship/antics/projects}. I hope that you and I can stay in touch. I would love to take you out to lunch sometime or, barring that, a good, stiff drink.
If you ever need anything, I would be happy to write you a glowing reference letter, in a professional or personal regard. I wish you the best of luck in the job hunt. Some lucky company out there is going to get one heck of a {position}.
In the meantime, you will be missed here. Sorry to see you go.
Sincerely,
{Sender}
