Dear {Mr./Mrs. Name},

I would like to extend my deepest regrets and sincerest apologies for my misconduct over
the last {amount of time}. The behavior was uncalled for and completely unprofessional.
While I know that it is not an excuse, I was going through a very difficult time and {brief
explanation of external factors.}
I am currently {action that addresses external factors} in order to keep my personal
problems out of my professional performance. In light of my dedication to resolve this
matter I hope that you can be lenient in this particular case.

I appreciate your understanding and again, I am truly sorry.

Sincerely,

Dear {Name},

I am so sorry for bothering you the other day. When I approached you about {topic}, I
didn’t realize that you were {busy/upset/etc.}.

The issue I had hoped to bring up was {issue}. While the matter feels urgent to me, I
should have shown better respect for your time and situation.

I’d appreciate it if you could contact me at your convenience at {contact info}.

Alternatively, perhaps you could refer me to {other party}.

Appreciatively,

{Name}

Dear {Name},

I am so sorry. I was inappropriate, in your face, and out of control. My behavior at

{time/incident} was clearly unacceptable, and I’ve already taken steps to understand why
I acted in such an aggressive manner and how I can keep something like that from
happening again. I have {seen a therapist/enrolled in an anger management course}.

I hope that our {friendship/relationship/working situation} is repairable. If not, I

completely understand if you want to avoid interacting with me in the future. Please let
me know how I can support your wishes to that end.

Sincerely,

{Name}

Dear {Name},
I am sorry. I know that I have a reputation for being blunt, but what I {did/said} was
beyond the pale.

I don’t know what I was thinking when I {did/said} what I did, but please believe me
when I tell you that I will be doing some deep reflection on how I communicate in the
future.

Please know that I never meant to hurt you with my words or actions, but I acknowledge
that I did so. I hope that you will accept my apology.

Sincerely,

{Name}

Dear {Name},

I am really beating myself up for embarrassing you the other day. I hope you know that it
was never my intention to cause you any discomfort.

I never should have {mentioned private issue/made inappropriate joke/etc.} I really

stuck my foot in my mouth, and you were the unfortunate victim of my jackassery.

I’m so sorry that I didn’t hold my tongue. I hope you will forgive me. I promise that I
will behave in such a way that I can be allowed to mingle with polite company from here
on out!

Sincerely,

{Name}
