Dear {Name},
I’m sorry. I was tasked with {element}, and I didn’t come through. I not only owe an apology to you and the other group members, but I owe you my heartfelt thanks for completing the project without my full contribution.
I hate making excuses, but the truth is, I {had emergency/mismanaged time/etc.}.
Regardless, I wish I had communicated better with the team, and also that I had {come to meetings/started earlier/etc.}. My intent is to go to our {instructor/supervisor} and take full responsibility. I don’t deserve to earn a grade for work I didn’t do.

Please accept my heartfelt apology.
Sincerely,
