Well, in my opinion, an in-person apology is the best way to go, but if you can't apologize in person, then your letter could be very simple -- accept responsibility for what you did, say you're sorry about it, and offer to make amends if you can.
Something like this:
Dear (Name),
I wanted to let you know how sorry I am about (describe what you did here). I really value our relationship and I'd never want to damage that. What I did hurt you and I sincerely apologize for that. I hope you'll allow me to try to make it up to you by (whatever it is you think you can do to make things right). Please forgive me.
Sincerely,
(your name)
In your letter, don't try to offer a lot of excuses, as that only serves to try to explain why the person shouldn't be upset with you. And since they are upset, trying to diminish their reasons for being upset will just make them more so.
If you hurt the person unintentionally, you could say something like, "Even though what I did was done unintentionally, I realize you're upset by it and for that I am truly sorry."
Good luck!

it does matter whether whom and for what reason ur sending it to. For example if ur sending it to ur friend/bestfriend to apologize for a fight, u can follow these tips:
1. Start with 'Dear Someone.'
2. Be to the point, don't skip to other points it'll give an expression that ur clueless about why ur writing this letter.
3. First explain the story; what the fight is about, why u did what u did.
4. Use proper grammar and spelling, if u don't, it'll give an impression that u don't care alot.
5. In the end, write what u really feel. Tell him/her how sorry you really are. Remember explain using good use of emotions but don't overdo it. Tell him/her how ur life has been going since the day u two fought. Tell him/her why u think they are special and what is that emptiness u feel when they are not around. But be honest, and don't give ur letter a far-fetched/imagned/unreal sorta look.
6. Give regards to him/her and family and write that u wish for a reply soon.
7. End with, 'Your Friend', 'Your Pal', 'Your Bestfriend' or 'Your Buddy'.
Every apology letter has the same rules, but some slight changes, which are known to everybody. Goodluck!

First of all, you have to be sincere. Tell the person you are truly sorry and why. Make sure to tell them you will try to behave better from now on. Most friends will forgive you. Sometimes, it's better to be face to face. The writing of a good apology letter is all in the sincerity.
Best wishes.

Well, if you really wanna apologies to someone then You should not ask anyone else.Write what you feel from within.Asking from others about how to write a apology letter seems like you just wanna make a formality to be done.

Dear Ma'am or Sir: Sorry that I'm such a spoiled brat that I have to do such childish things by calling other people names on something. Perhaps one day I'll grow up, but most people on Yahoo! Answers seriously doubt I ever will. You see, I had to go there to ask how to write this apology letter, and this is what they gave me. I just copied it verbatim because I'm too lazy to write one on my own and I'm not really THAT sorry. Sincerely, Spoiled Brat

I would buy a card that is blank inside, then write:
If I don't make any mistakes, I can never learn. I have learned that sometimes my mistakes hurt those I care about. Please accept my most heart felt apology, I am So sorry!!!
don't send it unless you really mean it! I suggest that you don't grovel for forgiveness because then the whole focus of the note becomes about YOUR feelings rather than showing your concern for the recipients feelings, Forgiveness as apologies, are only of value if they are given freely and not asked for.

Debra has it right. I'd also suggest that you include some suggestion of a reconciliatory meeting. Maybe a coffee at Starbucks or ice cream somewhere.
Just be prepared and understand that the person may say no.
Good Luck
