关于英文道歉信模板(精选32篇)
时间已经过去一年了。这一年,我们有过快乐的时光、痛苦的回忆、无知的困惑和感人的时刻。然而,快乐和感动都是你带来的,痛苦和困惑却因我而起。我承认在我们约会期间对你胡思乱想,对待你的态度不合适,强迫你做自己不喜欢的事。还一次次的让你哭泣,尽管我知道你是一个敏感的女孩儿。我也不够体贴因为总是忽略你内心的感受。
回顾那次事情。随着矛盾日益增加,爬山的事成为你爆发的***。你在山腰跟我说的话真正地伤了我的心。然而,这是我应得的。我们分手的原因就是由于我武断的行为和漫不经心的心态,这也导致现在让你我尴尬的现状。即使现在,我们也不能像以前一样互相打招呼。总的来说,一切都是我的错。当我说这句话时,心里感到深深的愧疚感。然而,这是我应受的责备。
我真正想说的是我现在还想你。多少平静的梦乡中,你总会出现,这也是我做过的最幸福的梦。每次遇见你,我都努力装作没看见你,故作镇定,可总禁不住想看你一眼,想知道你最近过得怎么样。虽然我现在上课不多,但每次上课,也都会寻找你的身影。我越来越不能压抑自己的情感。
如果我改变态度了呢?我想知道你是否会给我一个机会来弥补你因我而受伤的.心灵。 真诚至上
It has already been one year. This year, we have been through happiness, pain, confusion and impressive. Yet, most of the happiness and impressive was brought by you, pain and confusion was brought by me. I confess that I had mixed thoughts during our date time. My attitude toward you was not proper. I made you do things that you don’t like. Even I knew that you are a sensitive girl, I still made you cry more than once. I was not a considerate boy for I disregarded your deep feelings.
Look back on that so called big problem. As the conflicts developed, the mountain climbing was the point that you broke out. What you said in the middle of the mountain truly hurt my feeling. Nevertheless, I deserved this. The reason that we broke up was due to my arbitrary behavior and casual attitude, which led us to this situation that make us awkward. Even now, we couldn’t greet each other as we did before.
Generally, it was all my fault. When I said this, I felt great guilty from the bottom of my broken heart. However, I was be to blamed for this.
What I really want to tell you is that I still miss you right now. I dreamed about you in my peaceful dream that is the happiest dream ever I thought. I tried to pretend to ignore you and be calm When I met you. But I couldn’t help glancing you for I want to know how you are going. Though I barely went to classroom, when I did, I would find where you sit. I can’t constrain my emotion.
But what if I changed my attitude ? I just wondered if you could give me another chance to make up your broken heart that once was broken by me.
Yours sincerely,
Frank

Cordially,
Today I've come back to Hong Kong to stand before you,and account for myself,I've never escaped away from my responsibility. During the past few weeks,I've been with my mother,and my family,and love ones,to show support and care,and at the same time have their support and care for me.
I admit most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me,but these photos were very private,and have not been shown to people,and were never intended to be shown to anyone. Their photos were stolen from me illegally,and distributed without my consent.There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the Internet with maliciousand deliberate intent.
This matter has intercalated to the extend that the society as a whole has been effected by this,and in this regard,I am deeply sad in it.
I would like now to apologise to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this.
I would like to apologies to all the ladies and to all their families,for any harm or hurt that they've been feeling,I'm sorry.I would like to also apologies to my mother and my father,for the pain and suffering that I cost them during these past few weeks.Most importantly,I would like to say sorry to all the people in Hong Kong,I give my apology sincerely to you all,and reservedly it be,and with my heart.I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society,and in this regard,I had failed,I had failed as a role model.However,I wish this matter would teach everyone a lesson,to all the young people in our community,let this be a lesson for you all,this is not an example to be set for you. During my time away,I've made an important decision,I will wholeheartedly fulfill all commitments that I have to date,but after that,I've decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry,I've decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul.I will delicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months,I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment indefinitely,there is no time refrain.
I've be assisting to the police since the first day that the photos were published,and I will continue to assist them,after this press conf.,our obligations to help their investgation,and hope that this case can end soon,as everyone I think has the same wish.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case.Thank you.I believe everyone's priority now,my priority now,is to stop suffering the pain,for not letting this, we do not want to let this situation to be more out of control,we need to protect all the innocents and all the young for matters like this.In this regard,I've been instructing my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocent victims in this case.
I believe that the press today that been issued as we speak are what my lawyers had advised me to do.
Lastly,I would like to thank everyone for coming here today,and listening to what I have to say.I would like to also apologies once again to all the ladies and their families,my family,and to everyone in Hong Kong,and everyone in our society.I'm deeply in sad by this,and I apologies to everyone that had to go through this.I would like to also thank you for giving me this opportunity to say what I wanna to say all along in my heart.I hope after today,I can have your forgiveness.With regard to this case,with everything,everything that had happened,I'm deeply sorry.
I hope you all would accept my apology,and give me a chance.Thank you.

Anyway, I will call on you at 10 o’clock on Saturday morning at your hotel. We can have the day together, if you have nothing else planned? I’ll show you some of the places of interest that you may not have seen.
Please let me know if you will be available on Saturday morning.

Dear frank:
i am terribly sorry to tell you that i have lost the valuable book you were so kind to l me last week. i read it everyday and inted to finish it next month. last night when i came to my room, it was nowhere to be found. i will try to recover it as soon as possible. if i fail to find it, i will get a new book for you.
but i am afraid it can never take the place of the old one. old books are like old fris. once lost, they can never be replaced. they are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have. and for this irrecoverable loss, i am to blame. i was so careless with my things. this is a warning to me to be more careful in the future.
