In most cases, unfortunately is a negative word but like any word, it depends on how it's used. For example:
Unfortunately, I missed the bus (so I wasn't at the bank when it was held up).
Unfortunately, I was fired (or I would never have gotten this great job).
Unfortunately, he dumped me. (Thank goodness, I'm so glad to hear that!)

∙ 12y agoIt is not common to find 'unfortunately' in the middle of a sentence - you would find 'unfortunate'.
'Unfortunately' can be used as a fronted adverbialhowever, which means it can start a sentence and it is an adverb.
Take this sentence, for example - it doesn't sound right.
- Jim had unfortunately broken his leg.
You should write it as:
- Unfortunately, Jim had broken his leg.
A sentence that does sound sense is:
- It was unfortunately destroyed in a car crash.
It could also be written as:
- Unfortunately, it was destroyed in car crash.
- It was unfortunate that it was destroyed in a car crash.
