It's "excuse-moi" and "excusez-moi".
You use the first one when you're talking to someone you know ("tu")
You use someone when you're talking to someone you don't know, you don't know very well, someone who is older than you, etc... (vous)
In case you don't remember (or don't know):
Je
Tu
Il/elle/on
Nous
Vous
Ils/elles
(Vous is when you're talking to many people or when you're talking to someone you don't know, etc.)

You would say 'excuse moi' to someone you know well, family/friend etc. Excuusez moi is more formal, you would use it when speaking to people you don't know, superiors at work, teachers at school etc ...

excuse a moi litterally means excuse to me....no make and snese. :) the other is excusez-moi...which means excuse me....respectfully.

The term is "excusez-moi"... or "pardonnez-moi". The other term is nonsense.

The first one is not correct. The second one is.
