WRITING A COVER LETTER

Dear  {Recipient} , I'm so sorry I {action}. I can see now that {action} was just too much for you to handle. Even though we've been friends for {number} years, one little {action} is apparently too much strain on our relationship. After all, it's not like I put up with you when you {past action}. And it's not like you ever {behavior}. So please, forgive the monstrous way I behaved. I know that you are perfect, so clearly you must be right about this (like you always are). I'm happy to bow down to you and grovel at your feet. After all, {action} was a misdeed on par with clubbing a baby seal. So, please feel free to continue to ignore me like the scum of the earth I am. With the utmost regret, {Sender}

Dear  {Recipient} I owe you an apology for what happened with {situation}. You were not treated with the respect, dignity and fairness you deserved. It was never my intention to cause any offense and I hope my actions did not cause any irreparable damage to our relationship. Please accept my apologies and be rest assured that something like this won’t happen again. This experience has taught me to consider the consequences and refrain from impulsive actions. If you have any thoughts you would like to share, please don’t hesitate to {call/email} me at {phone, email}. Sincerely, {Sender}

Dear {Recipient}, I am writing to you today becaus e I am making amends to people I have harmed as a result of my addiction to {substance} . Specifically, I know that I harmed you by   {state action} . For this, I am deeply sorry. I know that sometimes apologies are more of a burden than a blessing, but I would like the chance to apologize to you in person. This will allow us to discuss how I harmed you and what I can do to make things right. If you do not feel that you wish to forgive me, or you do not wish to have any contact with me, I understand. However, please know that I am deeply sorry for what I have done to you and would like to do whatever I can to repair our relationship. If you would find it acceptable for me to make amends in person, please contact me at {phone/email}. Otherwise, rest assured that this letter will be my only attempt to contact you, because I do not wish to impose on your life. Sincerely, {Sender}

Dear {Recipient}, Perhaps the letter isn't the best way to go about this, but I really don't know if I can face you after what I've done. Maybe that makes me a coward. I don't know. I know that I don't deserve anything from you, but I can only hope that you'll read these words, knowing that I mean every one of them. I am truly, truly sorry for what I did to you. I know you are hurting now, and I know that's all because of me. I promised that I would never hurt you like this, and I did it anyway. I was supposed to be the one who would protect you from this sort of pain; I never intended to be the cause. I don't know if it's ever possible for you to forgive me, but I hope that someday you can find a way to do so. I hate that there's a chance that you will never want to be a part of my life again, so I hope you know that I will do whatever it takes to prove to you that I can do better if you just give me a second chance. I hope to hear from you soon...

Dear {Recipient}, I am sorry that I {behavior}. I know that you did not like it when I did that. I know it was wrong because {reason}. I am working very hard to learn how to better control my emotions so I don't {behavior} again. You are one of my best friends and I like playing {game} with you very much. Please accept my apology. Your friend, {Sender}

Dear  {Offended Party} I’m sorry. It was wrong of me to {state offense} to you. You did not deserve it, and you certainly did not deserve it from someone who calls you their {offended party’s relation to you}. I can’t say what made me {say/do} what I did. Whether it was frustration, momentary anger or just a lapse of better judgment, my actions were unnecessary and infantile. If you can bring yourself to forgive me, I can promise that something like this will never happen again. Your {your relation to offended party}, {Offending Party Name}

Dear {Friend Name}, Where do I even begin? I suppose saying “I’m sorry” is a start. I’m sorry. Looking back, I can’t believe that I {state offending action}.  But I suppose hindsight is always 20/20. It was stupid and I wasn’t the friend that you expected me to be. Even if I explain my actions, it still doesn’t justify that I {said/did}some pretty hurtful things.                                         I hope you can forgive me for what I did and put this matter behind us. I treasure our friendship and all the things we’ve done and been through. And hopefully, what transpired can become one of those incidents that make our bond stronger than ever.  If you have anything on your mind regarding this, please feel free to share it. I promise to listen before I speak. It’s the...

To Jasmine Stewart # 445, Walton Street Wakefield Date: 22 nd  Feb 2012 Dear Jasmine I don’t know that I deserve to be forgiven or not, but surely I owe an apology to you. I am really sorry for what I did and how I spoke to you in front of your friends. I behaved very inappropriately and immaturely. I know that I spoke to you very rudely in spite of knowing what happened was not your fault. I don’t know what happened to me and why I was so angry that I did not realize that it was not a good place to express my anger. When I realized my mistake I came back to apologize in front of all your friends but you were not there. Jasmine, you know I am not like this and it happened so suddenly that I did not understand what I was doing. I hope you’ll forgive me and give me a chance to improve my mistake. Yours Allan Rogers 

Dear pal Ron, I am writing this letter to convey you my apologies and repentance for not being present at the birthday party of yours. It has been quite a fight against my own desires. But, I guess, you would have advised me the same thing which I did. The  auditions  for the State Dance Champion is approaching me at a break neck speed and I have been required to be on my toes with all the rehearsals and practice happening in a consecutive manner. On your birthday, the practice lasted for nine hours. I hope that at least my gift reached you in time. I hope you will forgive me for this. I am looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible and even more eager to see you on my  audition  day. I may be asking for too much; but you know how relaxed I feel in your company. Yours friendly, Neville 

From, John Black, D-2, Raving Winds Apartments, Glamorgan To, Ms Raven, A-2, Whistling Heights Apartments, Glamorgan Dear Raven, This letter has been drafted by me to convey apologies for the kind of behaviour with which I met you on last Sunday. During the swimming session, I went pervert and carried away with what I sense was never me and never wanted to me. I apologise to you from the core of my heart for  the misconduct. I know you were very hurt but never made me aware of it. I give you my word that it shall never happen again in future with you and with anyone else around me. For one thing, I do not understand is why you did not point it out. I suppose you wanted me to realise through my conscience. I am hopeful that you will forgive me. I wish to be back with you like ever before and feel that it never happened and at the same time being vigilant that it never happens. Yours friendly, John

To Steve Matthew 556 Moreland Drive Sunderland Dear Steve I am writing this letter to apologize for my inappropriate and childish behavior in class that resulted in your suspension from school. I do realize that you had to face the anger of teachers and your parents in spite of the fact that you didn’t do anything wrong. I really appreciate that you did not bring my name in this matter and faced the punishment alone. You are indeed a very good friend. I hope you’ll give me a chance to apologize in front of your parents. I want to confess my actions before your parents and I assure you that in this week while you are suspended I’ll take all the notes in the class for you and help you to cover the  syllabus  being taught in the school in this entire week. Once again, I am really sorry. Your Friend, Jacob Jackson

In the heat of the moment we sometimes say some words that we do not mean to speak under normal circumstances. Between two friends this type of situation may create distances, resulting in a breakup. Here a friend is apologizing for his behavior with his friend. Here is a sample personal apology letter: From: Steven Johnson House no- 50, Orchid Apartments, New York To: Ronald Trump Apple Appt. Flat #106, Park Street, New York 20 th  June 2010 My dear Ronald, I know that you will view my letter in an aggressive mood. Before I continue with the letter, I would like to apologize for my obnoxious behavior. I should have not been so rude to you. You were doing your utmost to solve the crisis in my life. It was not proper for me to have blamed you for the problems that I was facing. But my friend, as you knows that I was not in control of my emotions. The situation was created in such a manner, that I thought that you were responsible for all the drama unfolding at the party. But after t...
