As you know, our {school/company/organization} celebrates everybody's individuality despite having a dress code. May you continue to express your unique personal style!
Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to contact me at {email address/number}.

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry for the {rude/inappropriate/weird} texts I sent you last night. You could probably tell I've had one too many. Yes, I was totally drunk. I'm also totally embarrassed.

Please know that I didn't mean a thing I said in those texts. If you could do me a favor and delete them all, I would be very grateful. I promise this won't happen again.

Best,

Dear {Recipient},

I'm so sorry for eating your {food} at the office on {day of the week}. I was hungry and it looked really good, so I grabbed it when I saw it. I didn't stop to think that it might belong to anyone.

I totally understand your frustration when you discovered that your {food} was gone. I'd be annoyed too if I were in your shoes.

Are you free this week? I'd like to treat you to lunch to make it up to you. Let me know what time and day works for you.

Regards,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm so sorry for everything. If I could turn back time, I would do things differently. But the only thing I can do now is take full responsibility for my actions.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I know it's easier said than done, but I want you to know that I sincerely regret everything. I'm also looking at this whole situation as a crucial life lesson and using it as a stepping stone to improve myself.

Again, I deeply apologize for everything.

I'm sorry for flaking out on you {yesterday/last night}. You know I hate backing out on my commitments.
Unfortunately, {reason}, so I had no choice but to cancel at the last minute.

I understand if you're upset and don't want to talk to me right now. But I'd like to make it up to you as soon as possible. So if you're free sometime this week, please let me treat you to {a coffee/lunch/a movie}. What do you say?

Best,

Dear {Recipient},

I apologize for flaking out on our lunch date {yesterday/the other day}. I was really looking forward to spending some time with you and chatting about {topic}, so I was just as upset as you were when I had to cancel unexpectedly due to {reason}. I hope you understand.

Of course, I'd still love to have lunch with you, so please let me know your availability this week or next. I'm looking forward to hanging out with you really soon!

Warm regards,

Please know that I value you tremendously as a {friend/colleague/family member}. I promise to work on my temper and think before I speak from now on. If you're free this week, I'd love to treat you to {a cup of coffee/lunch}. Let me know your availability!

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry I got arrested for {reason} {yesterday/the other day/etc.}. This was not the direction I wanted to take in life, and words cannot express how ashamed I feel for letting you down.

I'm sorry for embarrassing you in front of our {family/friends/colleagues} at {day of the week}'s

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,

Dear {Recipient},

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,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

You probably weren't expecting to get a letter from me, but I've always felt bad for disappearing on you back then. So here I am now, offering you my sincere apology--I know it's {number of} {weeks/months/years} late, and I'm not sure if you even want to hear it, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry I ghosted you.

I know it sounds so cliche, but it was me, not you. And I didn't have the guts to tell you, so I dipped.
I'm not expecting a reply or anything. I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for ruining our relationship. I hope you're happy now and with someone who treats you better.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry I left {event} abruptly on {day of the week}. I should have at least told you I was going home early, but I {wasn't feeling well/had an urgent matter to attend to/etc.} and I had to leave right away.

I'd like to make it up to you by buying you {a coffee/lunch/dinner} sometime this week. What time works best for you? Please let me know.

Regards,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},
