Can I Get Help Writing An Apology Letter To A Friend ?
Here is a sample of a apology letter I just wrote (the names are made up) Dear Samantha, These past few days I have done a lot of thinking about what happened last week. I want you to know that everything that I am about to say comes from the bottom of my heart. I know that it will be very difficult for you to accept my apology, but I want you to think about our friendship. The reason I decided to write you this letter is because our friendship is too valuable to me to end over a silly argument. I feel that I could have handled the situation in a better way, but you never gave me a chance to speak. I hope this letter will give us both a chance to understand each other better. I admit that I was wrong for telling you that you were stupid, but the reason for that is I did not agree with what you were saying. I want you to know that I am sorry and this is a special letter from me to you, saying that I Love You. I think that I have made the right decision. Please write back.
Writing should be –like the last resort. If you have a friend who took something the wrong way AND is not talking to you, then your friend is kind of mixed up and doesn’t know it. I take things the wrong way–we all do–and we should know that not everyone is perfect. If not everyone is perfect then, why not keep the lines of communication open? Nothing is that painful that casual communication should be stopped. Look up one of those websites on how to handle things assertively. And you can use what you learn in other negotiations…it is strange to think you actually have to do an emotional negotiation just to connect to another human being who has a really good heart. Your friend is very lucky to have you in life.
Your friend needs time to blow off steam. Give her a few weeks and then maybe stop by for a visit. Tell your friend that what you said was not with malicious intent but out of your concern. Tell her that your are truly sorry for hurting her feelings and that you will watch your words the next time a situation like this comes up. Also ask for her forgiveness. You’d be suprised that when you ask people for forgiveness they realize how genuinely sorry you are and that they are willing to put their hard feelings behind them. You may not feel you have done anything wrong but in her eyes you did and asking for forgiveness helps to repair the relationship. You will also be suprised that she probably wants to repair the friendship as well.
