Sample Letter 1 – Apology Letter for Bad Behavior In School
Write a letter to your dearest friend apologising for your behaviour and how guilty you have been feeling after the incident.
49-B, Lakshmi Nagar 10th September, 20XX Subject: Apology for inappropriate behaviour with friend Dear Rishi, This letter is to apologize for my offensive words to you yesterday. Looking back, I can’t believe that I spoke those words. It was wrong of me 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 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 least I could do if you’re willing to forgive me. You know how to contact me. I hope you do. I am sorry again for the hurt I have caused you. Your friend, |
Sample Letter 2 – Letter Of Apology for Bad Behaviour
Write a letter to your English teacher expressing deep regret for your misconduct/inappropriate behaviour during his class.
A-38, Nirbhay Nagar, 18th November, 20XX Subject: Apology for inappropriate behaviour in class Dear Sir, Please accept this letter as my formal apology for what happened in class today. It was not my intention to cause any disruption or inconvenience. Unknowingly, I was making the class break into laughter and quite rightly you felt angry. In retrospect, I believe the situation resulted from my inability to control my tongue and not speak in class. While this is by no means an excuse for my behaviour, knowing the cause will help me guard against future mistakes. Again, I am sorry for what happened. I respect you greatly and think you are the best teacher of English. Please forgive me, sir. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, |
