It is therefore wise to work out some strategies for apologizing, and the best way to apologize is by letter. We all say or do something that we wish we hadn’t said or done. You may say something that accidentally hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn’t e up to the standards that a client or customer expected. You may feel that it was a genuine mistake which couldn’t be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake, you should quickly try to remedy(補救 ) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process. For the content of the le tter, just remember TABS－ Timing, Action, Briefness, Sincerity. The time of a letter of apology is important－ it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the letter will only worsen the problem. In this case “Better late than never” is not the best motto! The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it. Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also essential to detail the action you plan to take to correct whatever you did wrong. A letter of apology should be brief and the word “sorry” should appear no more than twice.
