APOLOGY LETTER:
An apology letter is a way of expressing regret towards a past action or occurrence. It is a
means of putting down in words how you are feeling and trying to make a positive change from
a negative action..
Writing an apology letter shortly after the offense can usually help save a relationship
before a wound becomes a scar and the damage becomes irreparable.
You can usually find forgiveness and understanding if you freely acknowledge what you
did wrong and express sincere regret in your apology letter.
Depending on the situation, if you offer the injured party the appropriate material
restitution for whatever loss they incurred because of you, this will also help to repair
your relationship.
You can help to rebuild your credulity in your apology letter if you promise not to repeat
the offense and assure the injured party that they will see a definite change in your
behavior.
You can use your apology letter to assure the injured party that you truly value their
friendship and do not want to lose it.
Just writing an apology letter shows the injured party that you realize you were wrong
and that you value the relationship.
You may find that if you freely apologize and accept responsibility for what you did, the
injured party may also accept some responsibility for the problem and apologize to you
in return.
Be careful! Use wisdom in deciding when to write your personal apology letter. What
does your experience with the injured party tell you? Should you write the apology
letter immediately or should you wait and give him/her a brief cooling-off period?
