Dear {Recipient},

I'm very sorry I insulted you while we were at {event/location} last {day of the week}. What I did was
inexcusable, and it was really rude and inconsiderate of me to speak to you like that.

I apologize for hurting your feelings and I hope you will forgive me. Please know that I value you as a
{friend/family member/colleague} very much. I promise to think before I open my mouth next time.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry I didn't leave you a tip after dining at {name of restaurant} this past {day of the week}.

Please know that it was a complete oversight on my part and not a reflection of your service at all. The service you provided was beyond my expectations and I had a wonderful experience at {name of restaurant} thanks to you. Unfortunately, I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to leave a tip—and I only realized it once I was already {home/back at the office}.

Enclosed is a check for {dollar amount} to make it up to you. I have also written a letter to your manager to let {him/her} know about your excellent work ethic.

Kind regards,
{Your Name}
