Dear {Recipient},

This letter may come as a surprise to you, given the fact that this is the first time I'm reaching out to you in {number of} years. I don't know how you'll react to my letter, but whether it's positive or negative, I hope that you'll read it until the end.

Would I go back in time and change things if I could? I honestly don't know the answer to that. While I truly regret not having been in your life, I can't help but be proud of the amazing person you've become. Yes, you deserved a better childhood and I should have been there for you, but I want you to know that I'm so very proud of who you are today.

Please don't think that I'm not condoning my actions. I know that what I did was inexcusable. Still, I hope that we can stay in touch. I'll understand if you'd rather have nothing to do with me, but I would be ecstatic if we can find a way to be in each other's lives from now on.

Sincerely,
{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I won't waste your time and I'll just cut to the chase—I'm sorry I upped and left.

You probably won't believe me when I say that I've felt shitty ever since that day. But even though I made no attempts to contact you for {amount of time}, I've thought about you every day and wished that I've done things differently.

I know that what I did hurt you really bad, so I'm not expecting a reply. I understand. I just wanted you to know that I'm really, really sorry.

Dear [Name],

I want to start off by expressing my sincerest apologies for my absence. I understand that my absence has caused a disruption in the team and I take full responsibility for my actions.

I am aware that my absence has caused a lot of disruption in the team and I understand that this is not acceptable. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make up for the time that I have missed and I am committed to making sure that this does not happen again.

I am also willing to take on extra tasks and responsibilities in order to make up for the time that I have missed. I understand that this may be an inconvenience for the team, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to make up for my absence.

Once again, I apologize for my absence and I am committed to making sure that this does not happen again. I understand that my absence has caused a disruption in the team and I am willing to do whatever it takes to make up for it.

Dear [Name],

I am writing this letter to apologize for the unintentional isolation I have caused you. I understand that my actions have had a negative impact on our relationship and I am deeply sorry for that.

I realize that I have been distant and unresponsive to your attempts to reach out and connect. I can only imagine how hurt and confused you must have felt as a result of my behavior. I want to let you know that I never intended to hurt you or make you feel like I didn't care.

The truth is, I was dealing with some personal issues and I felt like I needed to take some time to work through them on my own. I know this was wrong of me and I should have been more open and honest with you about what was going on. I should have communicated my feelings and reached out for help and support.

I am sorry for not doing so and for making you feel like I didn't care. I care about you deeply and I want to rebuild the trust and connection we once shared. I am here for you and I am ready to start fresh.

I hope you can forgive me for my mistake and give me another chance. I promise to be more open and honest with you in the future and to make an effort to stay connected.

Again, I am sorry for the unintentional isolation I caused you. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
