your tone and attitude are much more important than what words you use.

The best way to say you're sorry is to simply say it.
Not over AIM, or e-mail, or the phone, but in person, if you can manage.
Just be as honest as you can, and I think the person you're saying it to will appreciate that the most.
Often times, we feel the need to apologize because something's gone wrong, and perhaps we didn't say all that we needed to. And I can't tell you how many times I'll be sitting there, wishing I'd said the whole truth, what I really felt, or something else entirely.
So avoid that regret, and the threat of losing a good friend, and be as honest as you can. Lay it all out there, tell them what happened, why you need to say you're sorry.
Swallow your pride, and just take the plunge.
I'm certain that the truth will set things straight, and show them that you truly care.

You can but, if it comes across as you "just saying it" and really don't mean it. Who ever it is may pick up on it then, lose your opportunity. I never say I'm sorry unless I mean it and it does not always mean it has to be said right away. It also means that if you are ever faced with the same situation again you won't do again whatever it was you’re apologizing for. In other words, if you’re really sorry you won't do/say something again under the same conditions or, at least to the same person but beware. Doing something or saying something that makes you continue to say your sorry would seem to suggest your not. That sort of reputation travels around pretty fast

A couple of years ago, one of my really good friends got really angry with me. We were at a party, and she really liked this boy, she had for a year. The problem was, he liked ME. Although I knew she loved him, I hooked up with him anyways because I wasn't thinking. Later that night I felt so bad that I was crying because I had never seen her more hurt. The next day, I spent the whole day making her a care package. I wrote a long letter and a card telling her how sorry I was, I baked brownies with sprinkles and make chocolate covered strawberries. I put it all in a basket and set it on her doorstep. It took some time to mend our friendship but this gesture showed that I really was sorry and that I really did want to make things better.

Something special and from the heart. It depends upon what you're good at though. Poems, letters, drawings. Someone above me said bake a cookie which is a really good idea.

Use whatever medium comes to mind and go for it.

As long as the other person knows you are sincere, it doesn't really matter how you say it...Just be sure you mean it!

If you say you're sorry and don't mean it, it may make the problem worse.

Make sure that you accept responsibility for whatever it is that you are apologizing for. Do not put any blame whatsoever on your friend. Even if you think she or someone else was partially to blame.

Well, I don't know what you've done but here is what I would do; Write a heart felt letter."You are my bestfriend and always have been. I don't want things to end like this. Accept my heart felt apology because I realize that I was wrong. Please forgive me." Write something like that.

First say this "I'm really sorry (whatever the persons name is) I didnt mean to do (something) I wish we could just be friends again let this become past."

Good hope, Good wishes and good luck!
