To properly apologize to someone follow these three "easy" steps:
1) Identify what you actually did wrong
2) Say "I regret that I _____, and I'm working on a way to make it up to you/ fix it. Can you forgive me?"
3) Actually do something to fix the problem, possibly even suprising them with the problem already fixed, saying "I regret that I _____, and I just wanted you to know that I already took care of it."
Just make sure you really understand #1 before you try to make up for whatever you did though, as too often people simply don't know what the other person was really hurt by in the first place, even if it seems pretty straight forward.

Don't just say you are sorry, but say what you are sorry for. That is, describe your understanding of why the thing you did was wrong. For example, "I'm sorry I said you are a fool. I see now that was my own biases coming out, and in fact, your position has merit from a different perspective. I guess even I can be narrow-minded at times." Or "I'm sorry I broke your toy. I was careless. Please forgive me." In that case, you should also agree to buy a new one.
Just a naked "I'm sorry" sounds too much like a mere formality. Depending on the tone of voice, it can also sound very insincere.

look them in the eyes and say u r sorry as u shake their hands (if offered); then hug if allowed and kiss if possible. u may then have a dance coffee or beer or prayer together and sleep again together if allowed and possible. next time you meet smile and the issue will have been forgotten. good luck.

Goveling goes a long way. As does self flagellation, and cash.

When you mean it. Don't do it because that is what the other person wants or expects, do it because you feel it is the right thing to do. Be sincere.

by open up you heart and let the person know how sorry you were for your down behavior...
sometime serious conversation with explanation could really help you out!

definitely not on yahoo, or in an email. Face to face is always the best. or you could find them in your subconcious and well, you know...
