Apology for Wasting Your Time

Dear [Name],

I am writing this letter to apologize for my idleness. I understand that my lack of action has caused you distress and I am truly sorry for that.

I know that I have not been living up to my responsibilities and that I have been letting you down. I should have been more proactive and taken the initiative to get things done, but instead I chose to be idle. I understand that my behavior was unacceptable and that I have caused you to suffer as a result.

I want to take this opportunity to apologize for my idleness and to make a commitment to you that I will do better in the future. I understand that I need to be more proactive and take the initiative to get things done. I will make sure to be more organized and plan out my tasks so that I can be more productive.

I also want to apologize for any inconvenience I have caused you. I understand that my idleness has caused you to have to take on extra work and I am sorry for that. I will make sure to be more responsible and take ownership of my tasks so that I can help to alleviate some of the burden that I have caused.

I understand that trust is something that needs to be earned and I am willing to work hard to regain your trust. I will make sure to be more responsible and take ownership of my tasks so that I can prove to you that I am capable of being a reliable and productive member of the team.

Once again, I apologize for my idleness and I am committed to doing better in the future. I understand that I have caused you distress and I am truly sorry for that.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

I apologize for failing to show up to my scheduled interview on {day of the week}. I know this reflects poorly on me as a job candidate, but I assure you I wouldn't have missed such an important appointment unless there was a very good reason.

Unfortunately, {reason for missing interview}, thus I had no choice but to miss my interview. I hope you'll consider rescheduling me. I'm really interested in the position as {reason for interest}.

Thank you for your kind understanding.
