Category: 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.

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

Jake Remore

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

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

Subject: Apology for inability to follow request of appliance servicing

Dear Ms Roberts,

With reference to your request regarding the servicing of your water purifier (request number 898239H, dated 13/6/2012), we are sorry to say that we will not be able to service the appliance free of charge as you warranty period has expired on June 1, 2012. According to the terms and conditions of the warranty, you were entitled to free servicing and repairing services once in every three months. But after the end of the warranty period, you will no longer be entitled to free services and will have to pay a charge of $30 for every service.

Therefore we will not be able to follow your request but if you want to continue to receive our services, please contact our customer care executives who will guide you on how to continue getting our help and how much you need to pay.

It has been a pleasure working for you and we hope our appliances continue to make your life easier. We are again sorry for not being able to respond to your request. Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely

Dear Jessica,

I am so sorry I hurt you and made you cry. You are the most beautiful thing in my life and I can’t believe I caused you so much pain by saying hurtful things. I know your work is very important to you and instead of supporting you I was focusing on my insecurities and saying things like you do not care for me. That was very wrong of me and I love you very much.

I know how much you care about me and the relationship and I appreciate everything you do. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to manage both the house and work and I respect you for that. I will try to help you in the house rather than expect you to do everything for me. Please tell me if there is anything more I can do because I want you to be happy with me.

You mean so much to me and I will say it once again: I love you and I am sorry for all the misunderstandings and the pain I caused by my awful behavior. Please forgive me so that we can move on.

Yours sincerely

Matthew

Respected Sir,

Please accept this letter as my formal apology for any inconvenience caused due to my misbehavior on June 9, 2012. I feel mortified when I think how I have caused trouble and problems for my team members because of my carelessness and then the argument which followed the incident. Instead of taking responsibility for my actions, I started defending myself and putting the blame on others so that my image in the office remains positive. What I did not realize that by getting into an argument I was belittling myself and also insulting my coworkers, where I should have just accepted my mistake so that we could move on.

Please forgive me for my actions and I ensure you that this will never happen in the future. I intend to be professional and contribute towards the organization through hard work and dedication and will try to make up for all the problems I have caused to you and the company.

I respect you a lot and request you to please give me a chance to prove myself through my work and behavior. Once again, I am very sorry.

Yours sincerely

Subject: Apology for misbehavior of customer care executive

Dear Ms Morris,

We have come to know of an unfortunate incident you had with our customer service department and we would like to deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to you by the customer service executive’s behavior. We have noted down your complaint (number 797329SA) and would like to let you know that strict action will be taken against the employee. He is a new employee with very less experience and so his attitude towards his job was over enthusiastic and lacking proper judgment.

We are by no means excusing his behavior but I would like to request you not to take any legal action against the company as we are very sorry for what happened. As a token of our gratitude, please accept the offer of free servicing of all appliances of our company that you own for up to three years. We will also make sure that the faulty air conditioner is replaced by us at no extra cost so that you do not face any further problem.

Once again, we are very sorry for the incident. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Yours sincerely

Dear Libby,

I am so sorry about what happened the other night and I feel really bad that we fought over something so petty and trivial. I regret every word I said to you and how I hurt you with my behavior. It all started because of a misunderstanding and things just kept piling up in my mind. I know that I should have told you what is bothering me way before things got out of hand. But instead I went to Artie and told me what was hurting me. I did not mean to gossip about you or say mean things about you.

But I was so angry that I needed to vent. Please believe me that I did not mean half the things I said. I do not blame Artie for coming and telling everything to you because some way or another you would have to come to know this anyway. I just wished I had come to you first to clear things up instead of getting other people in our family involved.

Please forgive me for everything I did to hurt you and I hope we can have a good time Cousin Danny’s wedding.

Yours sincerely

Dear Aunt Jenna,

I do not even know how to begin the letter after having caused so much pain to you. Please accept this as my apology for breaking your trust yesterday and sneaking out of the house with my friends in the middle of the night. I can imagine how scared you were when you did not find me in my room and later heard about the accident on Elmer Road where two of my friends were hurt.

I assure you that I did not realize that things would get so out of hand; we just wanted to have so some fun but now I realize that underage drinking and driving is not only dangerous but can also jeopardize my future forever. You have been a mother figure to me and I respect you a lot. This is why I am so ashamed that I hurt you so much with my words and actions. I will never go anywhere without informing you, neither will I stay up late with my friends and indulge in drinking. In fact, I will also try to educate my friends about the consequences of drinking and driving.

I am very sorry for everything.

Yours sincerely

Adam
