Dear (Mr./ Mrs./ Ms. Name)
Dear Sir,
I am truly sorry for failing to make it to the office on time. This is quite unprofessional of me. I have especially inconvenienced my team who were waiting for me to do a presentation before they go to their respective work station. Please accept my apology for this action.
We are well aware that punctuality is very important for better results at work and as the head of the team I should lead by example. I was coming to work and along the way an accident happened that blocked the road for 20 minutes, causing me to arrive at the office 30 minutes later.
We have learned from this and I have purposed to be leaving the house at least 30 minutes earlier than I normally do to make sure that this mistake does not happen again. I have talked to the team players and I have rescheduled the meeting to tomorrow morning to make sure that we cover what was supposed to be covered today.
I am sorry for letting the management and my colleagues down. promise this will not happen again. Kindly accept my apology.
Yours
Sincerely,
(Name of the Authority)

Dear (Mr./ Mrs./ Ms. Name)
I write this letter to offer heartfelt apologies for the late delivery of your order 12/2022 that was to be delivered to your premise on 02/01/2022. The order arrived three days later.
We are deeply apologetic for the inconveniences caused to your business and customers. The lorry that was to deliver the parcel broke-down midway in the journey. Unfortunately, we did not have a standby vehicle on that day to take over the deliveries.
We sent another lorry the following day; thus, the parcel arrived three days later. Late deliveries hardly occur in our company since we always have a standby lorry for emergencies but unfortunately, all Lorries were engaged, and the extra lorry was in the garage for servicing.
Once more accept our apologies; we are confident that this will not happen in the future.
Sincerely,
(Name of the Authority)

Tips to Remember
- Choose your words wisely. When you have made a mistake once, be careful not to make another while trying to resolve the first.
- Don’t beat around the bush.
- Be sincere, but don’t grovel. Everyone makes mistakes. But don’t let this tip justify your half-heartedness in writing the letter.
- Write it as soon as you realize your mistake.
- Excuses will only offend further
