WRITING A COVER LETTER

Writing a remorse letter for an assault is one of the most difficult sorry letters to create, it must both satisfy the emotional and legal intent to appease all parties involved. To Whom It May Concern, My sincerest apologies to Kathleen Morris and James Lowe- I have treated you unfairly with malice and intent, caused you unreasonable physical and emotional harm which to this day, I deeply regret my actions. In a traffic altercation last June 15, Kathleen and James were subjected to my rude and violent behavior. I fully understand the extent of what I have done; I have done a terrible act towards two fellow human beings and no one deserves to be treated that way. I am solely accountable for my actions and I will accept whatever punishment the court deems appropriate with my offense. In this regard, I have now taken steps to ensure that no such act of aggression will happen again, I am undergoing therapy and anger management classes to address my personal issues. I am writing this out o...

A formal letter asking a person to apologize and say sorry for all the hurt he has caused Dear Mr. Peltier, Sorry, but a great deal of concern has been expressed about your behavior the last few days. The latest incident reported to us is unfortunately the last straw for any tolerance. From our perspective, the solution is quite straightforward: Please take a second to think about what you've done, you owe a lot of people in the group an apology. We are not asking you to apologize, we WANT you to apologize. If this is something you believe you are not up to, then I am sorry to tell you that the consequences on your status will not be pleasant. Please be advised accordingly. Management

To All, The past few days have been very disheartening for me and my family. As you know I have been a subject of a viral video that showed my helplessness during a trying moment. As it stands right now, I have several hate pages in   Facebook and Twitter with hurtful and derogatory messages attacking my person. The reputation that I built the past years has been besmirched. A bad day has now turned into wounded feelings and sleepless nights for me and my family. I have been silent the past few days as I want this to go away soon but not before saying sorry and thank you to people who matter. I would like to apologize for my behavior   that was seen on nationwide television and now on the internet. It was unfortunate that I was caught on camera immediately after an overwhelmingly stressful mishap. I would like to again sincerely thank those who braved the flood to help a distraught stranger like me. Their selfless act reminded me of how dependable Filipinos are in times of cri...

Dear {Husband}, I just want to start by saying that I am so sorry that I {behavior}. It was absolutely unacceptable, and I didn't mean to do it at all. I was angry because of {behavior}, but that was no reason to act the way I did. I really believe that if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, we can work through this. I understand that right now, you're too angry to talk to me, but when I think of all the happy times we've had together it makes me so sad to think of us fighting over this. Remember when we {happy memory}? Or when we {happy memory}? Even though we're having trouble right now, I know we're strong enough to get through this together.

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.

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.

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 

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

To Ms. Megan Smith 33, Ascham Lane Southampton Dear Ms. Smith I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that you faced yesterday and for the bad behavior of our employee.  The executive that was sent from our company at your place to fix your internet connection was new and did not behaved the way he is supposed to behave with customers. As you know, our company is upgrading our internet services to provide better facilities to customers. Hence, most of the employees have got engaged in this up-gradation process. That’s why we hired few new employees to take care of day-to-day connectivity issues. Once again I apologize for the misbehavior by our executive. I am sending another executive today to fix up your internet cable line and to sort out all the issues that you are facing with your internet connection. I also assure you that what happened yesterday will never ever happen again in future. Thanks for using our internet services. Regards, Jason Rodrigues ADS Technologies

To Shane Austin #212 Granada Road Salisbury Dear Shane, I am writing this letter to seek forgiveness for my behavior last night. I know I misbehaved very badly with you in front of your parents, and my act was totally uncalled for. I am really sorry for whatever I did. I should have talked with you first instead of yelling at you. Shane you will not believe when I understood that this happened only because of a small misunderstanding I felt very shameful. I realized that it was my mistake that I didn’t trust you and then I made the matter even worst by behaving the way I did. I am feeling guilty about the whole matter. I understand that you don’t want to talk to me. I just want to tell you that I am waiting for you, I really love you and I am very sorry for my actions. I assure you that I will never repeat this kind of misbehavior. Sarah
