WRITING A COVER LETTER

Dear {Mr./Mrs./Professor Last Name}, I am terribly sorry that I was tardy for {name of class or lecture}. I understand that your time is valuable, as is that of my fellow students, and that {class or lecture} begins at a certain time for a reason. My time is not more important than anyone else's, so it was inexcusable for me to come in late and disrupt {class or lecture} in the manner in which I did. Again, I am very sorry for what I did. I hope you know this will not happen again. Sincerely, {Sender}

Dear {Mr./Ms. Last Name} I deeply regret my actions on {day of week} and would like to offer my sincere apologies for the incident. What I did was inexcusable, childish, distracting and disrespectful. You, as well my fellow students and {school}deserve better from me. In the future, I will practice more restraint and professionalism so as not to repeat the lapse of judgment I displayed. I value your commitment to instructing and guiding me to success. If you would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, {Student}

From, Jacob Smith, First Year, Electronics To, Professor Sprout, Electronics Department Dear Professor Sprout, I am writing this letter on behalf of the entire first year class to express my heartfelt apologies for all the chaos which we caused during the last lecture of yours. The holidays probably went in our heads and we lost the ethics and etiquettes of  how to behave  in a classroom especially when a professor is around. The way you left the classroom in disgust made us realise that how disgraceful we were to your teachings. We are extremely sorry and I assure you that we will try to behave in the way we are supposed to behave. We will try to win your heart and faith back and shall prove to be the best first year batch which the college has ever had. I hope that you pardon us this time considering this as a childish mistake and we assure you that we shall behave like matured students. Yours faithfully, Jacob Smith

You can expect better and more appropriate behavior from me in the future. I have learned from this experience and understand that a certain level of refrain and professionalism is expected of me in the classroom. I recognize your dedication to education and your commitment to instill in me the knowledge I need to succeed. I hope our relationship is undamaged from my actions and that I can continue to learn and grow under your guidance. Sincerely, {Student}

Dear {Lecturer Name} Please accept my sincerest apology for not providing the suitable {environment, tools, equipment etc…} you{requested/needed} for your lecture at {event/location} on {M/DD/YYYY}.
