Subject: BEHAVIOUR APOLOGY LETTER.

Dear Sir,

I would like to sincerely apologies for my behavior with our clients and subordinates on (10^th September 2010). I can only attribute it to the high level of stress which I am facing due to some serious family problems. The way I behaved with our clients and my subordinates was very rude and arrogant and I know such behavior of mine can affect the image of our organization and cause a serious damage to our market reputation.

I exactly know that this is not an excuse for my behavior at work after all any professional person should always keep his personal and professional life separate. But some times it’s difficult to keep these family problems out of your mind and I m facing the same situation right now. I assure u that I shall not repeat this miss conduct in the near future.

I genuinely and impatiently look forward to your high-mindedness.

Thanking You,

Sincerely,

Alex M. Campbell

If you commit any kind of mistake then it becomes your responsibility to apologize or say sorry for that mistake. By verbally or in writing you can accept your mistake any apologize for it. But if you say sorry verbally then it’s not worth it. Expect apologizing verbally if you say sorry in writing then it make good impact hence sorry letters are to be written. While writing sorry letter make sure that language used by you should be polite because it’s a sorry letter.

Subject: I AM SORRY LETTER

Dear, Ms. Simon

On 31^st August, 2010 when you had given your promotion party I could not make it to come. I know you are very hurt because of me as you were expecting me to come in any circumstances. I am extremely sorry for not coming in your party. I almost got ready and coming for the party but suddenly my mother she got pain in her stomach and I had to rush to the hospital because there is no one else who can take care of her at that time I made a decision that not to go for a party. To give excuse is very easy but mine is a truly exception because it was an issue of my mom’s health so it’s my humble request to you that please accept it.

For a special person like you only sorry letter is not enough therefore I am sending your favorite flowers along with my best wishes.

Yours truly,

This kind of charming but rather sugar coated letter would mostly be addressed to one’s close friend, relatives for any reason to be penitent or even for some unintended mistake & thereby express a sense of good conviction to avoid for any future clashes. This would signify just the essence to regret from a very personal touch.
