SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sam,
I hope you’re doing okay. I’ve been feeling terrible about what happened the other day and wanted to write to you personally.
I know I said something really hurtful during our argument, and I deeply regret it. I can only imagine how upset or disappointed you must have felt, and I want to sincerely apologize for the pain I caused you.
Please believe me when I say I didn’t mean what I said. It was said in the heat of the moment, and I let my emotions get the better of me. You’ve always been a great friend, and the last thing I’d ever want is to hurt you.
I truly hope you can forgive me. Our friendship means a lot to me, and I’d love the chance to make things right between us.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,
Alex
