Dear [Recipients Name],

I sincerely apologize for the plagiarism that I committed to my term paper. I have been having personal troubles lately, and while I know that it is no excuse, I ask for your consideration.

I know that plagiarism is in no way condoned in our school, and I accept whatever punishment you see fit. It is my only hope that you would give me another chance to make up for the mistake that I committed. I promise never to do it again.

I look forward to your reply regarding this matter.

Sincerely,

Apology Letters

Apology letters are letters written to express regret towards a past occurrence or action. Simply put, apology letters are a way of putting down in words how you feel about a negative action and trying to make a positive impact on it. A great apology letter can repair your reputation and strengthen your connections. It might be that you have wronged a client or a customer, a professional situation in the workplace has not turned out as you expected, or you have done something terrible to your friend. You want to say sorry about these situations and salvage your relationship, so an apology letter is the greatest way to do this.

Apology letters should be written and sent immediately after the mistake has happened to show that you truly value your relationship with the other person. Begin the letter by stating how sorry you are, admit that you made a mistake, and take responsibility. Try to solve the issue and give suggestions on how you are going to do this. Assure the other party that the incident will not happen again in the future. Apologize again to the end and close the letter with a positive note.
