Dear {Name},
I am writing to apologize for {incident/error/misstep/etc.}. I totally own my role in this. Specifically, I never should have {behavior or action}.
Upon {further reflection/praying/therapy/etc.}, I now realize {situation and intent}. This is not an excuse, but I just felt you deserved further insight.
From my end, I feel that where I went wrong is:
{component}
{component}
{component}
{component}
Knowing this gives me confidence that if a similar situation were to arrive, I would handle it better. Specifically, {different behavior}.
Thank you for hearing me out. Again, I am terribly sorry.
Sincerely,
{Name}
