Letter to say sorry.
Further things to consider when writing sorry letters to someone you love
Sorry Letters
I'm sorry letters are letters you write to regretfully acknowledge a mistake, offensive behavior, or failure. Such letters are also written to comfort others at a time of disappointment or grief. I'm sorry letters should be sincere to make sure that the message is effective and that it doesn't cause more hurt. Although sometimes saying I'm sorry in person may convey more sincerity, there are other times when a written 'I'm sorry' might be the preferred method or otherwise your only option. It could be a personal or business I'm sorry letter, but either way you need to acknowledge the recipient's hurt feelings.
Excellent I'm sorry letters are brief and usually carry the intended message clearly. Start by mentioning what your letter is about. State exactly and descriptively, what you are sorry for, without adding unnecessary details. Acknowledge that you know how much the recipient is hurting. Express your gratitude and mention other achievements the recipient has had in the past to show that you really appreciate him/her and you are sorry for what he/she is going through. Offer suggestions that will make the situation better. Say sorry again at the end of the letter and close positively.
Letters to Someone You Love
Letters to someone you love are, simply, the letters you send to a person you cherish and care about. The recipient of such letters could be your parents, your brother or sister, your child, your spouse, or any other person you truly care about. Although the words can still come out of your mouth, writing a letter to someone you love gives you an opportunity to choose the right words to express your appreciation and admiration for your dearest. It doesn't matter if the letter sounds funny or funky as long as your words come from the heart.
When writing letters to someone you love, you first need to evaluate your relationship with this person so that you can determine which direction your letter is going to take. Begin the letter with an intriguing phrase that will immediately catch the recipient's attention. Tell the recipient exactly why you are taking the time to write. Discuss happy memories the two of you have shared, especially those you think the person might have forgotten over time. Mention your beloved's strong and best qualities and how he/she has changed your life. End with a statement that reaffirms your love for this person.
