Help me write a sincere apology to {{person_or_group_and_relationship}} for {{what_happened}}. What I will do to make it right: {{how_i_will_make_it_right}}. It will be sent as {{message_format}}. Principles: - Name the specific mistake and its impact on them in plain words. - Take responsibility without excuses, blame, or conditional phrases such as sorry if you were upset. - Explain what I am doing now and what will change. Do not promise anything I have not listed. - Match the length and tone to the relationship and the size of the mistake. - Keep the focus on them, not on my feelings, and do not demand forgiveness. Return the apology, a shorter version, and a note on any line that could sound defensive. If the mistake could have legal consequences, suggest having the wording reviewed by a qualified professional.
