An apology letter is the simplest way of saying sorry for your mistakes. It also helps you protect your relationships with the other person. One can often get forgiveness if he freely acknowledges his mistake and expresses sincere regret in his apology letter. You should begin your apology letter by saying sorry. Secondly, you should accept your offense. Then give the valid reason for stealing.
Rather than writing crap stuff write the things that will help you to mend your relations with the recipient. Try to convince the recipient that the circumstances forced you to steal and also try to convince the recipient that you won’t repeat this in the future. Close off the letter by apologizing again and with a warm note. A personal apology letter is written with warmth and sincerity. Keep your apology letter short and to the point. Remember you are asking for forgiveness so your tone must be respectful. Take full responsibility for the crime you have committed.

Apology Letter for Stealing Money from the Office
Dear sir,
With due respect and bringing together all the strength and courage, I wish to apologize for the blunder I did. I take full responsibility for what happened last night.
I am extremely sorry for stealing the cash from your drawer. I know this is wrong. I wanted the money urgently for my daughter’s medical bill. If I have asked you for the money, you would have given me but I took it the wrong way. I have broken your trust and our two-year-old friendship, but I was helpless. We have been working together for the last two years and you never treated me like an employee.
I know it’s a punishable offense but I need a single chance to prove myself. Please forgive me I assure you that I will never steal again in the future. I will be highly thankful to you if you accept my apology and forgive me.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Aadi James
