Ways to begin
“I held back because I didn't want it to sound like an excuse — and that only made things worse. I'm sorry.”
“I don't know if you'll read this to the end, but I'm going to write it all down anyway.”
Frequently asked questions
Q. What should I avoid in an apology letter?
Any sentence starting with 'but'. Apologize, explain, and promise it won't happen again — in that order, with zero excuses.
