Please accept my humble apologies for giving a terrible apology about {issue} on {date}. It was poorly worded and hastily put together, making me come across as insincere and unregretful, which I assure you isn't the case at all.

I would like to take this opportunity to offer another apology, which hopefully will better express how I truly feel. I apologize for the way I acted at {location} on {date}. I had no idea my inexcusable behavior would affect other people. Please rest assured that I have learned my lesson and this incident will not happen again.

Dear {Recipient},

I'm very sorry I insulted you while we were at {event/location} last {day of the week}. What I did was
inexcusable, and it was really rude and inconsiderate of me to speak to you like that.

I apologize for hurting your feelings and I hope you will forgive me. Please know that I value you as a
{friend/family member/colleague} very much. I promise to think before I open my mouth next time.

Sincerely,

Dear {Recipient},

I'm so sorry for the things I said to you last night. I want you to know I didn't mean any of them; I was angry and I wasn't thinking straight. I really think you're a wonderful partner who {positive quality/reason why you love them}.

Let's not sweep this under the rug but talk about our issues instead, OK? Our relationship is extremely important to me and I would want nothing more than to strengthen it. I know we can work things out.

Love,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry I called you names when we bumped into each other {yesterday/last week/etc.}. I didn't expect to see you at {location} and I wasn't sure how to react. Seeing you again for the first time in {number of}
{months/years} brought back memories of how ugly our breakup was; I guess that's why I reacted the way I did.

I never wanted us to part on bad terms, so I'm taking this opportunity to apologize for my behavior
{yesterday/last week/etc.}. I'm not asking that we be friends, but I think we can still be at least civil to each
other.

Regards,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry for mansplaining while we were discussing {topic} {earlier/yesterday/etc.}. It might sound crazy to you, but I didn't realize I was being condescending until {you/someone else} pointed it out. Actually, I was in denial at first, but after giving it some thought, I realized {you/name of other person} {were/was} right.

Please accept my apologies. Rest assured I will not offer unsolicited explanations in the future.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend your {family member}'s funeral on {day of the week}. I wish I could have been there to {support/comfort} you in person.

I know you're going through a really difficult time right now. If you need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to give me a call.

Thinking of you,

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry for embarrassing you in front of our {family/friends/colleagues} at {day of the week}'s
{event/activity}. Please know that it wasn't my intention to upset you--I just have a tendency to put my foot in my mouth sometimes.

I have done quite a bit of self-reflection since that day and I've realized that I need to improve my self-control and communication skills. I'll make sure to think before I speak from now on.
If you're free next week, I'd love to buy you a coffee to make up for my blunder. Please let me know when you're available!

Sincerely,

I'm so sorry I forgot to invite you to {event}! You know you're {one of my best friends/my favorite uncle/etc.},right? I would never in a million years leave you out on purpose.

Your presence at the {event} would mean the world to me. I hope to see you there! All the details are on the {enclosed/attached} invitation.

Warmly,

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

Sincerely,

I am writing this letter to apologize for my unsympathetic action. I understand that I have hurt your feelings and that I should have been more understanding and sympathetic.

I know that it was wrong of me to be so insensitive and I want you to know that I am truly sorry for my actions. I understand that my behavior was inappropriate and that I should have been more compassionate.

I want you to know that I am aware of my mistake and that I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it up to you. I will do my best to be more understanding and sympathetic in the future. I will also take the time to listen to you and to be more supportive.
