Example Letter
Dear Sarah,
I am writing to tell you how sorry I am about what happened last week.
I’ve been meaning to say "sorry" since then, but I’ve been busy and didn’t find the time. I want you to know that I never meant to hurt your feelings, and I’m truly sorry that I did. I was really upset after our argument, and I shouldn’t have let myself get so carried away. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me, and I regret it deeply.
Why don’t we get together for a friendly chat so we can work things out? How about next Friday? I really hope you’ll be able to meet, and I just want to say again how sorry I am.
Lots of love,
Kate
