Apology Letter for Slander

Dear {Mr./Mrs. Name},

I am writing this letter to apologize for slandering you on {media} to {subject/audience}. I had no right to say that you {reiteration of the slander}. The claim was unjustified and unsubstantiated.

I understand that this qualifies as defamation of character, but I would like you to know {factors that led to slander and mitigating circumstances}. I hope that you can understand that not only did I not have all the information but that I was extremely angry about {factor} and therefore not thinking clearly. I simply got caught up in the moment and I deeply regret it.

I hope that you can find a way to forgive me for my momentary lapse in judgment. I promise to {way you can make it right} in order to make it clear that my comments were unwarranted and untrue.

Sincerely,

{Sender}
