Sorry Letters

Sorry letters are documents which convey regret, feelings of apology and contrition to the recipient (s). Such documents or letters are extremely tricky and the correct amount of emotion must be combined with genuine and heartfelt sorrow and regret. They must be written by the sender in order to express true emotion, and hence, sorry letters are extremely difficult to compose.

Sorry letters can be personal or formal. In the latter case, the apology is usually for any action which has caused inconvenience to another party, like a business house, a company or an institution. In case of personal sorry letters, the feelings can be given greater expression.

Such letters must be kept simple and short. The reason for the misunderstanding or the cause of grievance must be addressed, and the sender’s apology must be tendered. A sorry letter should refrain from being overtly emotional and overwhelming.

It is best if sorry letters do not tend to justify the cause of grievance or the hurtful action. This defeats the point of the sorry letter which is to offer an unconditional apology. Hence, one must admit one’s fault and not be defensive while apologizing. This result is a convincing sorry letter.

Dear Mr. James,

With great sympathy I am writing this letter to you on behalf of Growell Systems. We deeply regret the sad demise of your wife due to cancer. We know how difficult it must be for you to lose your life partner after so many years of staying together.

Formal Sorry Letter

To,

Ms. Jenna Williams,

5673 Hyde Park, Austin

June 11, 2012

Subject: Apology for my misbehavior

Dear Ms Williams,

Please accept this letter as my formal apology for causing you emotional distress with my words on June 9, 2012 at our board meeting. It was not my intention to make things uncomfortable between us and use hurtful actions but I deeply regret my words and I would do anything to take them back. You are a very valuable member of our board and I respect your opinions very much.

In retrospect I believe the argument happened as a result of a misunderstanding between you and me and things just escalated from there. However, that was no excuse for my behavior and this incident will help me remember to think before I speak so that I do not cause inconvenience or damage to any future personal and professional relationships. I would like to mention that I admire your poise and how you did not lash back at me although I used harsh words for you.

Once again, I am very sorry about what happened and deeply regret my behavior. You can contact me at my home number 979731234 if you would like to continue this conversation.

Yours sincerely

Business Sorry Letter

To,

Mr. Don Jones,

Manager, Style Matters Group,

3678 Green View Park, New York

June 11, 2012

Subject: Apology for faulty goods

Dear Mr Jones,

It is with great concern that I address the issue of damaged goods delivered to your company on our behalf on June 10, 2012 (order number: 989831XF) and I would like deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to you due to problems in the materials. I would like to stress that all the materials send to our business partners are thoroughly checked at three levels because we understand the importance of the good quality of materials and how they are used for your clothing line.

But this time due to an oversight we made the mistake of sending you the order which was to be discarded instead of sending you the right materials. This is unacceptable and we are very embarrassed by out error. I would like to mention here that as soon as we came to know what happened, we immediately sent the right order so that your time is not wasted any further and we will not charge you anything for this delivery.

We are very sorry for this and hope that you continue to do business with us.

Yours sincerely

Ned Burns

Sorry Apology Letter

To,

Ms Michelle Tyler

6237 Palm Beach, Florida

June 12, 2012

Subject: Apology for indecent behavior

Dear Ms Tyler,

I deeply regret my behavior and pain caused to you because of my words and actions and would like to sincerely apologize to you through this letter. I cannot even begin to say how mortified I was when I realized what I had done and said to you. Please believe me when I say this is not the kind of person I am. I have a lot of respect for women and my mother and sisters continue to inspire me every day.

What I said to you was spoken in an intoxicated state and even then it is not an excuse for such a despicable act. You are a very strong and capable woman and I respect your work and contribution to our community. I would request you to not press any charges against me as I am a family man and for the sake of my kids please forgive me for what I have done.

I know it is a lot to ask but I assure you that I will never bother you again and will also publicly announce my apology. Please forgive me.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely
