how do you write an apology letter ?

Answer 1

Dear (what ever their name is),
I apologize for (whatever you did) and I hope you will forgive me.
I know that what I did was wrong, and though sometimes a sorry can't fix everything, I am truly, deeply sorry for what I did.
I know it would probably serve me right if you stayed angry and refused to forgive me,
I still ask that you please forgive me.
Sincerely,
(your name)

You can probably reword it if you wanted, but this is how I apologized to my friend. She forgave me by the way.
Cheers, and good luck.

Answer 2

Unless there is a REAL legitimate misunderstanding, do not do much explaining of why you did what you did. That's just too similar to making excuses for yourself; and that will only exacerbate the problem.

Simply say that you were wrong in your actions and/or words, and that you apologize for all the pain you have caused, and that you wish to be forgiven.

That gets the thought across, and it is easier to make sound sincere without a lot of explanation. I would send in a card, with a card with a BLANK inside, no cutesy preprinted apology. The outside may say I'm sorry, but no more than that. Just a nice card, and blank on the inside is better. Do not type, write it by hand.
Email is acceptable, too; but no cutesy stuff. Asking to be forgiven should not be made light of.

Answer 3

when i have to write an apology letter, i always try and get right to the point, but i also write it EXACTLY how i would say it to them.... be completely honest. the cowardly thing about a letter is, you can edit yourself. so it can come off as a lot less sincere than face to face. that's why i say stupid things that i would say to them. since i type most of my letters, i just sit at the keyboard and spill my guts. it's the most sincere way to convey through printed words how you feel.

and be yourself in the letter, don't use excuses and rebuttals, these can come back later to bite you in the ***.

trust me

Answer 4

Basically, you tell the person you are apologizing to that you are sorry for what you did that hurt or offended them and ask for their forgiveness. There is not much more to it than that. It should be simple, stright forward and from the heart.

Answer 5

Dear Blah,

I have found it very difficult to admit this, but I am truly sorry for what I did. I hope you can find space for me back in your heart and room to accept my apology; even though I am totally unworthy. Even if you don't accept it and we never talk again at least I got this off my chest; and I just want to tell you, that my sincere apology is due to you.
Please forgive me,
blah #2

P.S. this is just an example and i am totally unaware of your specific circumstances. Hope i helped pumpkin! gl

Answer 6

What you need to do is tell the person exactly how you feel. Tell them that you messed up. Nothing makes the other person want to forgive you like honesty and humility. Tell them you r extremely sorry for hurting them or doing them wrong or whatever and promise that you will never do that again.

Answer 7

Just write it from your heart. Say you are sorry, that you regret what happened, and you don't want it to ever happen again.

Don't draw it out - just be specific about what you are apologizing for, say you regret it. You could say, "I hope you can forgive me."

Answer 8

Just write from your heart. Sincerity goes a long, long way.

Answer 9

I try to do all of my apologies in person...I want the person or persons to see the truth in my eyes.

Answer 10

Be honest and make sure it is truly from your heart.....the one receiving the letter will know if you were truly repentant or not.
