Dear {Name},
It can't tell you how much it meant to me to receive your apology for {incident/action}. My heart was softened by the sincerity in your words, and I want you to know that I forgive you.
Even though I was deeply hurt by what you did, I have come to believe that letting resentment fester inside me would only make things worse. Moreover, I've realized that even though what you did was {awful/inappropriate}, it shouldn't mean the end to our {friendship/family ties/business relationship}.
It will be awhile before I can be around you without thinking about what happened, so I hope that you will afford me the same grace that I have extended to you.
Sincerely,
{Name}
