Dear [Recipients Name],

I am writing to apologize to you about the event that occurred the other day during our French class.

I know that I said some offensive and hurtful things, and I am very sorry for that. I didn't mean them, and I have no idea why I was such in a bad mood that day. I know that this is not an excuse for what I did, and want you to know that I do regret my actions.

I hope that you will forgive me 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.
