Apology Letters for Incident

Dear {Recipient},

I cannot express how embarrassed I am for clogging your toilet this past {day of the week}. That is actually one of my worst nightmares, and unfortunately, it came true. I didn't think flushing {toilet paper/personal hygiene product/something else} would cause a clogged toilet.

If only I had the common sense to chuck it in the trash can instead, then none of this would have happened. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused. Please let me know how much the plumbing cost--I would like to pay for it.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}
