I know it's not a valid excuse, and I take full responsibility for my behavior. Again, I apologize for snapping at you.

Please know that I value you tremendously as a {friend/colleague/family member}. I promise to work on my temper and think before I speak from now on. If you're free this week, I'd love to treat you to {a cup of coffee/lunch}. Let me know your availability!

Regards,

Dear {Recipient},

My name is {your name} and I would like to come forward about the graffiti on your {car/house/etc.}. Yes, I was the one who sprayed {drawings/writings} on it. I initially thought it would be a cool way to express myself, but then I realized I was also causing damage to your property--and that part is not cool.

I'm very sorry for the trouble I have caused you. I'm willing to remove the graffiti from your {car/house/etc.} for you. Would it be OK if I dropped by on {date} at {time}?

Apologies again,

{Your Name}

Dear [Name],

I am writing to apologize for my overreaction during our conversation the other day. I am sorry for the way I acted, and I understand that my behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable.

I understand that I should have handled the situation differently, and I want to take responsibility for my actions. I should have taken a step back and thought about the situation before reacting in the way that I did. I can see now that my reaction was not only unprofessional but also hurtful.

I understand that my behavior has caused you distress, and I am truly sorry for that. I have been reflecting on our conversation and I have realized that I could have handled the situation better. I should have stayed calm and taken a moment to think before speaking.

I am sorry for the way I acted and I want to make it up to you. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make this right. I am committed to improving my communication skills and I am taking steps to ensure that I do not overreact in the future.

Once again, I apologize for my overreaction and I hope that we can move past this incident. I value our relationship and I want to make sure that it is not damaged by my mistake.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Dear {friends/followers},

Please accept my sincere apologies for retweeting the {offensive image/unverified news/etc.}. I've always used social media to express my opinions, but I assure you that the material I shared does not and did not ever represent my views. It was a rash decision on my part and I'm sorry for my carelessness.

Sincerely,
{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm sorry for snooping on your {phone/social media/etc.}. I just wanted to know more about {topic/situation} but you were being tight-lipped about it, and rightfully so. I should have respected your decision and never invaded your privacy.

I'm sorry for breaking your trust. I promise it won't happen again. I hope you can forgive me but I understand if you don't want to speak to me for a while.

Sincerely,
{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I'm really sorry for triggering you {yesterday/this morning/etc.}. I should have known better than to talk about {topic} in front of you given your past trauma. Please forgive me for being so insensitive.

Is there any way I can do right by you? I really feel bad for causing you to {have a panic attack/other symptom}. How about we {grab lunch/catch a movie/etc.} {later/tomorrow/this weekend}? It'll be my treat and I promise I won't bring up anything negative.

Best,
{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I've noticed that you {have been avoiding me/haven't been talking to me} for the past {few/couple of} {days/weeks}. I don't know who or what has made you so upset since you wouldn't tell me, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with me.

I'm not sure what I did to make you {angry/upset}, but if I did anything to hurt you, I'm sorry. I hope we can talk it out so I can fix whatever I did wrong. You know you're my {best friend/favorite sibling/etc.} and you can talk to me about anything.

Love,
{Your Name}
