Letter of Apology

Sadly, there are times that the friendships most important to us are jeopardized due to what are often minor misunderstandings that get blown far out of proportion.  Often the best way to repair the damage that occurs when this is the case is to draft a heartfelt, but simple, letter of apology to the person we’ve offended or hurt.

The first thing to remember with a letter of apology is that it must be written from the heart and the words expressed in the letter must be sincere.  Any form of insincerity in a letter of apology will shine through clearly and the letter will have just the opposite effect of that which is desired.  It will further offend.

Secondly, be specific in the letter.  Make sure the recipient knows exactly what it is that you are apologizing for:  

“Please accept my heartfelt apologies for the rude way I treated you when we had our argument last Wednesday.  I had no right to disregard your feelings in such a rude manner and I am very sorry.”  

Wording such as this lets the recipient of your letter know that you are apologizing - not necessarily for the argument itself - but rather for the way you behaved toward the person and your disregard of their feelings in the matter.  You are in no way changing your position in the argument and can later agree to disagree about that.

Letters of apology, probably more so than any other kind of written correspondence, should be written with extra attention paid to proper spelling and grammar.  Use some good letter writing software if this is a problem for you and be sure to run your work through a reliable grammar checker and spell checker.  You want the recipient of your letter to see that you took extra time in drafting it precisely because you recognize you’ve done something to hurt their feelings and therefore want to make that up to them.
