To All,
The past few days have been very disheartening for me and my family. As you know I have been a subject of a viral video that showed my helplessness during a trying moment. As it stands right now, I have several hate pages in Facebook and Twitter with hurtful and derogatory messages attacking my person. The reputation that I built the past years has been besmirched. A bad day has now turned into wounded feelings and sleepless nights for me and my family.
I have been silent the past few days as I want this to go away soon but not before saying sorry and thank you to people who matter.
I would like to apologize for my behavior that was seen on nationwide television and now on the internet. It was unfortunate that I was caught on camera immediately after an overwhelmingly stressful mishap.
I would like to again sincerely thank those who braved the flood to help a distraught stranger like me. Their selfless act reminded me of how dependable Filipinos are in times of crisis.
Lastly, I would like to thank my family, friends and all of those who showed empathy, consideration and support throughout these trying times. You have given me strength and courage to rise above and be a better person.
Sincerely yours,
Chris L

We Are Sorry: A Public Apology Letter from CEO
The fully printed text of the public apology letter from The News of the World CEO Rupert Murdoch. This is one famous public apology
We are sorry.
The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account. It failed when it came to itself.
We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred. We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected.
We regret not acting faster to sort things out. I realize that simply apologizing is not enough.
Our business was founded on the idea that a free and open press should be a positive force in society. We need to live up to this.
In the coming days, as we take further concrete steps to resolve these issues and make amends for the damage they have caused, you will hear more from us.
Sincerely,
Rupert Murdoch

Catholic Church Public Apology: Betrayal of Public Trust
A public scandal involving misuse of government funds results in a Betrayal of Public Trust. Parties involved resort to a public apology.
Dear People of God,
Our Mother Church has been deeply wounded by the controversies in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office that have erupted in the past two weeks. Some members of the Church believe in the innocence of the bishops involved in the issue, while others do not. There is no doubt that everywhere in the Church there is great sorrow. We your pastors are one with you. As shepherds struggling to love you like Jesus the Good Shepherd, we are sorry for the pain and sadness that these events have brought upon you.
We are saddened that many of you, especially the youth, the poor, our Basic Ecclesial Communities, have been confused because of the apparent inconsistency of our actions with our pastoral preaching.
As we express our sadness, we also ask you to be slow in judgment and to conscientiously seek the whole truth behind the controversy. Let us seek the truth always in charity.
We assure you that the bishops concerned are ready to accept responsibility for their action and to face the consequences if it would be proven unlawful, anomalous, and unconstitutional. We assure you that their action was done without malice. Out of their sincere desire to help their people, they failed to consider the pitfalls to which these grants could possibly lead them. They have also expressed their readiness to do everything that is necessary to heal this wound so that we can all move forward in hope.
We also assure you, our beloved people, that we shall re-examine the manner of our collaboration with government agencies for purposes of helping the poor, making sure that pastoral sensibilities are respected and the highest ethical standards are observed. We shall examine our values in the light of our vocation to be disciples of Jesus Christ. We commit ourselves to the long journey of personal and social transformation required of all disciples of the Lord. We plead with you to walk with us in this path of constant renewal.
We express again our deep sorrow for the pain that the recent events have brought to you our beloved people. The good Lord knows our love for you. The words of the psalmist come to our mind: “My sacrifice, a contrite spirit. A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn" (Psalm 51).
As the same Psalmist addresses the Lord, we take his words as our own to encourage and challenge us: “Indeed you love truth in the heart; then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom."
For the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines,
NEREO P. ODCHIMAR, D.D.

Apology letter showing Remorse for Assault
Writing a remorse letter for an assault is one of the most difficult sorry letters to create, it must both satisfy the emotional and legal intent to appease all parties involved.
To Whom It May Concern,
My sincerest apologies to Kathleen Morris and James Lowe- I have treated you unfairly with malice and intent, caused you unreasonable physical and emotional harm which to this day, I deeply regret my actions.
In a traffic altercation last June 15, Kathleen and James were subjected to my rude and violent behavior. I fully understand the extent of what I have done; I have done a terrible act towards two fellow human beings and no one deserves to be treated that way. I am solely accountable for my actions and I will accept whatever punishment the court deems appropriate with my offense.
In this regard, I have now taken steps to ensure that no such act of aggression will happen again, I am undergoing therapy and anger management classes to address my personal issues. I am writing this out of my sincere desire to change for the better. I have let my friends, family and the local community down due to my behavior and lack of respect towards other people.
I do hope for your support and understanding on the matter.
Sincerely,
David

Public Apology: Sorry for Offense
A Public Apology letter for an Offense made
To Whom It May Concern,
My irresponsible actions last August 24, 2011 have caused great sorrow to those in the Bleakwood community. I deeply regret causing harm to a fellow student in my fit of anger.
I know sorry is not enough to rebuild the trust and respect I lost. But I am sincerely committed to change my ways and, I have submitted myself voluntary to a rehab facility and a 2-year anger management program to sort out my personal demons. I am on a 3-year probation on assault charges of which I will serve time for 6 months and a year of community service under the strict supervision of the state. I would like to be forthcoming about my situation and that the grave misdemeanor I've caused will not go unpunished by the law. I hope you will find it in your hearts to forgive me and still be open to the idea that a person like me with a dark past can still opt to change for the better.
Sincerely,
Davis

Public Apology for Assault
A legal letter for an out of court settlement and public apology over a pepper spray assault.
To Everyone,
I'm writing this for the simple reason that I want to sincerely apologize for the harm I caused to Cristina Thames in the pepper spraying incident on August 15, 2021 at the Argyle Sportsclub in California.
I deeply regret what happened to Cristina. It was an unfortunate mistake as the incident was unprovoked by Cristina. I understand and know the damage and embarrassment it has caused her. I do realize that Cristina has suffered physically, emotionally, psychologically and financially due to the incident.
Rest assured no other form of harassment will come to Cristina and her family.
I would like to say that this is done out of my own free will in efforts to remedy any ill will between us. I pray that friends will understand and all will be supportive of this effort of mine to rectify any misunderstanding.
Sincerely,
Patrick

Saying Sorry to Friends: A Public Apology Letter
A sample Sorry Letter to Friends asking them to leave your family alone. Being forthcoming with the blame, you accept whatever punishment they might whip at you. It makes for a sensible public apology statement.
Dear Friends,
I couldn't be more sorry about what happened and the situation we are all in now is of my doing. I take full responsibility for it. Please do not drag my sister into the issue, she was never involved or was she even aware of my decisions. Please leave the rest of my family out if it. I am the one to blame and hate.
If anyone wants to tear me a good one, I'm up for a beating. I deserve it. What I have done is intolerable.
All apologies,
Courtney
