Dear {Name},
I’m writing to apologize for my thoughtless comment {when} about {topic/context}. I don’t know what I was thinking. Or, rather, I wasn’t thinking at all. If I had, I never would have {asserted/implied} that {hurtful, indiscreet, or negative thing}.
I sincerely apologize for my insensitive words and any distress they may have caused. I value our relationship and hate to think that I have so carelessly jeopardized it.
Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you would like to discuss this. If you would rather not, I completely understand.
Sincerely,
{Name}
