Letter of Love Apology

Dear {Offended Party}

I am so very sorry for what I did to you. I realize now (and should have realized then) how much pain and suffering this has caused you. If I could change the past and take back what I {said/did}, I would.

But “if,”, “would,” and “could” are things I could only hope for. What I can do is try to mend the damage that I have done and hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

As a start, I can promise you that I won’t ever recklessly misplace your love and affection again. It was wrong, stupid, and immature of me to do what I did. And now that I see how much my actions have hurt you, I know that I can’t bear to see you unhappy.

Words will never suffice as the only apology for what I have done but I sincerely wish that it can start the healing process and let you know that I am in this for the long run.

Thank you for reading and giving me this opportunity to begin my apology. Please call me when you have the chance.

Love always,

Letter of Apology to a Friend

Dear {Friend Name},

Where do I even begin? I suppose saying “I’m sorry” is a start.

I’m sorry.

Looking back, I can’t believe that I {state offending action}.  But I suppose hindsight is always 20/20. It was stupid and I wasn’t the friend that you expected me to be. Even if I explain my actions, it still doesn’t justify that I {said/did}some pretty hurtful things.
                                        
I hope you can forgive me for what I did and put this matter behind us. I treasure our friendship and all the things we’ve done and been through. And hopefully, what transpired can become one of those incidents that make our bond stronger than ever. 

If you have anything on your mind regarding this, please feel free to share it. I promise to listen before I speak. It’s the least I could do if you’re willing to forgive me. You know how to contact me. I hope you do.

Your friend,

{Name}

Letter of Apology Personal

Dear {Offended Party}

I’m sorry.

It was wrong of me to {state offense} to you. You did not deserve it, and you certainly did not deserve it from someone who calls you their {offended party’s relation to you}.

I can’t say what made me {say/do} what I did. Whether it was frustration, momentary anger or just a lapse of better judgment, my actions were unnecessary and infantile.

If you can bring yourself to forgive me, I can promise that something like this will never happen again.

Your {your relation to offended party},

{Offending Party Name}

Please call me as soon as you can. We can discuss the matter, and I can begin to make amends for my inability to follow through.

Sincerely,

{Sender}

Dear {Wife},

Well, I really messed up this time. I'm sure you're getting used to that by now. But this time, I know you're really mad because I {action}. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. It was stupid, and I didn't mean to do it.

Apology Letter to Husband

Dear {Husband},

I just want to start by saying that I am so sorry that I {behavior}. It was absolutely unacceptable, and I didn't mean to do it at all. I was angry because of {behavior}, but that was no reason to act the way I did.

I really believe that if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, we can work through this. I understand that right now, you're too angry to talk to me, but when I think of all the happy times we've had together it makes me so sad to think of us fighting over this.

Remember when we {happy memory}? Or when we {happy memory}? Even though we're having trouble right now, I know we're strong enough to get through this together.

I love you more than anyone else in this world, and I just want to find a way to make this right with you. I'm so sorry, and I'm looking forward to working this out with you.

With love,

Apology Letter to Ex

Dear {Recipient},

I know we have had our differences, but I would like to offer you an apology even though our relationship is over. I believe that we both had our faults, but perhaps my faults were more severe in the end. In particular, I am very sorry for the way I {behavior}.

I am also sorry for the bad terms on which our relationship ended. If I could go back, I would try to be more level-headed. Even though I do not think we were right for each other, I would still like to be friends with you. I have always enjoyed your {positive quality}, and I do miss being able to {activity} with you

Apology Letter Girlfriend

Dear {Recipient}

Words will never fully express how sorry I am, but I truly hope that it is a good start:

I’m sorry.

I regret nothing more in life than what I have done to you. It was wrong, stupid and immature and you do not deserve any of the grief and anger I have caused you.

I can’t bear to see you unhappy because of my actions. When our relationship began, I promised {to myself} that I would make you happy. I failed. I failed both of us.

But I want to make amends. I truly do. You’re too important of a person to lose and I hate myself for realizing that now rather than earlier. I understand the gravity of the situation, and I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

Please call me when you have the chance.

Love always,

Let me begin with, “I’m sorry.”

I’m sorry for {state action}. I can see that my behavior and attitude was hurtful and totally unnecessary. You did not deserve to be on the receiving end of my actions.

Apology Letter for Coming Late

Dear {Recipient},

I know how awful it is when you're counting on someone and he/she lets you down, so that makes it even harder for me to try to find the words to apologize for my late appearance at the {party, business meeting, etc.}.

I am aware that you expected me to be there at {HH:MM}, and that I showed up late, which embarrassed both of us. I never enjoy putting anyone in a situation like that, and I am truly sorry that you had to endure those moments of wondering where I was. And I regret that you had to try to make excuses for my tardiness.

I hope I can make this up to you in the future. Please give me a call as soon as possible so that we can talk, and so that I can apologize in person.

Regretfully,
