Dear {Recipient},

I hope you can forgive me. I'd love to buy you a coffee to make it up to you. Please let me know your availability this week.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

With regret,

Warmly,

I'm very sorry I insulted you while we were at {event/location} last {day of the week}. What I did was

{friend/family member/colleague} very much. I promise to think before I open my mouth next time.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

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},

Enclosed is a check for {amount} for payment on {last month's rent/invoice number/etc.}. I am sorry for the delay. I {recently incurred unexpected medical expenses/am currently between jobs/other reason}, hence I missed the due date.

Thank you for your patience and understanding on this matter.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry you were left out of the {activity/event} last {day of the week}. I had meant to invite you but things got really hectic and I lost track of a lot of details… I'm really sorry. This incident has made me realize that I need to ask for help and be more organized the next time I'm planning {a/an} {activity/event}.

I know what it's like to be left out, so I completely understand why you're upset. I'd like to make it up to you by buying you {a coffee/lunch} sometime this week. When are you available? Please let me know.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I am writing to let you know that I am retracting the statement I made about you in {name of publication} on {date}. I didn't realize that what I falsely said could potentially be damaging to your reputation, and I deeply apologize for my lack of consideration and foresight.

I have contacted the editor of {name of publication} to inform them that I am retracting my statement and to request that they {issue an erratum/publish a follow-up piece}.

Once again, I am very sorry for the trouble I have caused you.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry your child got head lice after coming over to our house and playing with my {son/daughter} last {day of the week}. I wasn't even aware that there was a problem until I received your {text message/phone call}. I immediately checked my {son/daughter}'s head, and sure enough, I found some lice.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you and your family. If I may, I would like to recommend the over-the-counter treatment called {name of treatment}, which you can get at {drugstore}.
I hope your child gets better and that our kids can play together again soon!

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I can't count the number of times I started this letter, only to delete everything I've written. Sometimes, there are no words to adequately express the guilt and regret one feels about something they did, especially when they've hurt someone who loved and trusted them so deeply.
I know “sorry” is not enough for what I did, but I'm really sorry for all the pain I put you through. I was extremely selfish and risked everyone's happiness. Being unfaithful is unforgivable, and I deserve all the anger that you feel towards me.

It pains me to see you hurting and I want nothing more than to regain your trust and rebuild our {relationship/marriage}. You probably want some time alone though, so I will give you the space you need to heal. Where we go from here is up to you. I will accept whatever decision you make, but I'm still hopeful that you'll allow me to repair the damage I've done.

Again, I'm deeply sorry for the hurt I've caused. Please take good care of yourself.

Thinking of you,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I denied it when you first confronted me about it, but I'm coming clean with you now. Yes, I've been avoiding you for the past {amount of time}. I know that it hurt your feelings, but please understand that it's not you. It's me.

You see, I was avoiding you because {reason} and I wasn't ready to talk about it yet. At one point I even
thought that I could handle things on my own. Boy, was I wrong. I'm sorry I kept you in the dark for so long. If you're willing to lend your ear, I'm ready to talk about {reason} now.

Thanks,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry {mommy/daddy} said some mean things to you {yesterday/this morning/etc.}. Sometimes, adults
get angry and they say things that they don't really mean. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings and I promise I won't ever say those things to you again.

I want you to know that you're a {positive qualities} child who is very loved by everyone in our home, including me. And that is something that will never change.

Want to go get some {ice cream/yogurt/something else} later? You can have {two scoops/extra toppings/etc.}.

Love,

{Mom/Dad}
