One possible version:
Dear Mike,
I'm very sorry to hear that your team lost the basketball match last weekend. It's understandable for you to be in a bad mood. However, if you can view it from different perspectives, the loss may be a blessing.
First, it's normal to lose a basketball match, for you can either win or lose. If you've tried your best, why not lift your spirits to face up to the result Anyway, the essence (本质) of competition lies not in victory but in participation. Besides, you can also benefit from your loss by figuring out your strengths and weaknesses.
I hope you can find my encouragement helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
