I hope you’ll forgive me. I want to say again how sorry I am.
Love,
Max
B. Dear Mr Dawson:
I am writing to you with reference to our last meeting. I wish to apologize for my behaviour.
As you know, I was most disappointed by the rejection of my application to the educational programme last September, and that was the reason of my rude behaviour last week.
Please, accept my most sincere apologies. I hope we can get together again in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
