Hello,

The following is a letter of request from a woman, to get the money her husband was to get before his death.

can you please rewrite this letter in official english.
[Please don't worry about th addresses and other formalities. It's just the body of the letter I am concerned about]

Dear sir,

I would like to bring to your kind notice that my husband, on account of his sudden death, never received the 6 month's salary due to him [ from march 15th to september15th]

It would be a great help if you could help me get these money, for which act of yours I shall be ever obliged

Thank you

Try this. The words with asterisks would need to be changed, of course:

Dear Mr. *Jones:

As you know, my husband, *Joe Smith, passed away on *November 10, 2005. It was an unexpected and tragic loss for your company as well as for me.

It seems that Joe never received his last paycheck for six months' salary, from March 15 through September 15, 2005. Would you please see to it that the check is made payable to *me / *the administrator of Joe's estate and send it to the address above at your earliest convenience.

Thank you very much. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact *me / *the administrator as soon as possible.

Yours truly,
