Dear [Recipients Name],

I apologize for having spoken that way to you in that interview. My remarks were insensitive, and I believe you must be feeling sad because of them. I also think that you'll give me another chance and make an effort to realize that what happens when I speak loud. The problem is that I utter offensive words even though the people I am talking to would take it in another way. I truly treasure my relationship, and I believe that you will also want me to patch up for the same and allow me to do the same.

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]

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.

Letters to Human Resources

Letters to human resources are letters written to the personnel or department that deals with administration, training, and hiring of employees in an organization. The role of human resources personnel is to handle everything from payroll to policy issues and legal grievances. If you have a policy or legal question, a personal issue that affects your work, or a serious problem with a colleague, the first person you may want to contact is a human resources representative. The best way to begin this conversation is by drafting a letter stating your specific problem.

When writing letters to human resources, make sure to follow all the rules of a formal letter. Start by addressing your letter to the right person. Write a clear subject line communicating your problem and indicating that action is needed. Set a formal and professional tone early in the conversation. Keep your sentences short and clear and avoid providing more information than is necessary. Describe the issue precisely giving a timeline of when it started. Explain what you have done or think can be done to address the issue. Request for an in-person meeting. Close on a note of anticipation to seeing the issue resolved.
