Two websites offering free, printable letter templates for tough situations have just added new, apology letter condolence letter templates.

"These new additions to ApologyLetters.net and CondolenceLetters.net give letter-writers a framework for corresponding in difficult times," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "The letters can be downloaded for free and edited to suit the user's situation."

The 26 new sample letters at ApologyLetters.net include personal apologies (to a spouse, friend or neighbor) as well as examples for offering regrets for behavior toward a teacher. There are new letters for professional situations as well, such as from a business owner to a client or employee.

The 16 new letters at CondolenceLetters.net include sympathy letters (both for the religious and non-religious), letters for the workplace, and letters expressing sadness for the loss of a pet.

Each site also includes articles with tips on how to construct these types of letters, including do's and don'ts.

CondolenceLetters.net and ApologyLetters.net, both launched in 2010, are "sister sites" to other FreePrintable.net letters sites offering thank you letters, letters of recommendation, complaint letters, goodbye letters, and hardship letters.

All of these free letters are available in customizable DOC (Microsoft Word) format, or their text can be simply cut and pasted from the websites.

There are more than 80 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
