Dear [Recipients Name],

I just got the letter that you sent me about the issue that we had last week.

I appreciate that you wrote me an apology letter though I must say that that wasn't necessary. We are good friends, and I definitely could understand why you acted out the way that you did.

I look forward to hanging out with you again very, very soon. See you at school!

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.

Letters to Team Members

Letters to team members are letters sent to people belonging to a specific group involved in striving to achieve a common goal. These could be appreciation letters to show gratitude and acknowledgment for the efforts of team members or motivation letters to offer encouragement. Communicating with the people who helped you achieve your goals is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your network and your work relationships. Everyone loves to be appreciated for his/her efforts and encouraged when the going gets tough. The best way to do this is to draft a letter to communicate your feelings.

Letters to team members can be informal as these are people whom you know pretty well. Begin by stating the objective of your letter. Go directly to the point and deliver your message. If you are writing to appreciate the team members' for outstanding performance, recognize the skills they used to achieve that performance. If the letter is meant to give motivation to the team, offer your encouragement assertively and in a sensitive tone. Avoid making negative comments directed to members who seem to be lagging behind. End the letter with a positive remark or a statement of encouragement.
