    Default sorry + to + verb

    Is this sentence correct?
    we are sorry to hear you are not well yet.

    If it had a capital letter at the beginning, it would be a grammatical sentence. However, it's not very natural, it would be more natural to say "We are sorry to hear that you are still unwell/sick/ill".
