Excellency,

I was shocked and deeply affected upon hearing the news on the demise of H.E. Begum Nusrat Bhutto, Your Excellency's mother-in-law.

I hereby  offer my condolences to you as well as her other family members on the death of that suffering lady who was, in the ups and downs of the hard times, transformed into a symbol of patience and steadfastness of the noble nation of Pakistan by undergoing numerous woes and hardships.

I pray to Almighty Allah to bless the departed soul of the deceased, and to give forbearance and patience to her family members.
