Apologies and excuses: we've all succumbed to these at some point in our lives. When we fall short of meeting a goal or expectation then apologies and excuses seem to make their way into our rationale of explaining our way out of things.
Although I was an avid student in college, I did not always meet my assignment deadlines on time. The following written work is not one of my proudest moments; however, I think it is worth sharing anyway. It is an apology letter I wrote to a TA for one of my General Education classes at USC explaining why I was so late in turning in an assignment. I drafted the letter in Word before I sent it via email, which should give you an understanding into the severity and seriousness revolving around a letter like this.
Appology Letter:
(circa late 2007)Xxxxx,
Attached to my final essays you will also find my Research Paper that I never turned in. After I missed the deadline to turn it in I wasn’t really sure how I was going to get it to Professor Xxxxxxxx. He doesn’t have an e-mail or a number to be reached at. I figured that he would only frequent his box in the anthropology department that one time on Friday so I’ve been hesitant on where I should turn it in to.
If you could, I’m asking very kindly, please hand my research paper to Professor Xxxxxxxx. I know I will be graded down significantly for this, and there’s nothing I can do about that now. I am deeply sorry but I just want to turn it in finally to him. Thank you.
