I get letters signed by the heads of organisations expect I am not naive enough to think it was sent/written by them. It's not known if the letters were actually written by the Prime Minsters themselves but I think the suspicion is that it's not the case.
Here is the part after Osem's quote:
Quote:
It is official policy for the prime minister to write to the families of all service personnel killed in action while on operational duties.
According to Ministry of Defence guidelines published on the Parliament website, the letter is drafted by military officials and should ideally be sent within two working days of the death being announced.

So these military officials 'draft' the letter on behalf of the PM and send it.
