Apology Letter

Date: ______Betemariam BekeleAddressContact Number E-mailRecipient NameRecipient AddressDear Judge,

I am very sorry for the act I have done. I did not want to hurt anyone physically or emotionally, but mistakenly I have done something that I should not have in the first place. My intention was not wrong, but somehow it turned into something very serious. The friend who filed the charge against me was equally responsible for making me do an unethical act. Still, I am ready to take responsibility for my action.

I want to explain what happened. I was eighteen years old and was in high school. Sthephen Valencia was one of my friends. One day she asked me for money. She told me that, she wants five hundred dollars for her mother. She was in a problem and wanted to help her mother. I arranged money for her. She told me, while taking money, that she will return it very soon. Later I noticed her routine and came to know that she was doing just fine. She was uploading pictures on Instagram. She was no more in trouble. Still, she was not giving my money back. I had asked her so many time for my money, but she always came with some new excuses. It made me angry. I lost my trust in her.

I needed my money back. I shared my problem with my friend Anthony Booth. He suggested me to take some of Sthephen belonging to pressurize her. He made me accept his suggestion by saying that it is alright; I am not hurting someone physically and will return all the belonging once I will get my money back. With the help of Anthony, I got some of the Sthephen belongings. Instead, Sthephen felt ashamed of her act, she got angry and filed a case against me with her mother. They claim that I have stolen their belongings.

During the case, I sincerely accepted my mistake. I also apologized to Sthephen and her mother. They did not accept it, and I was sentenced to jail. In jail, my behavior was never to be harsh or harmful in any aspect. I was paying for my mistake in a good way. As I told earlier, I was eighteen years old when I made a mistake. This was the time when I wanted to get a higher education for a good job. I have lost all my aims and goals for the future. Police did not give me permission to work. I had to spent five years of my life in jail.

It was the fifth year when finally Sthephen mother accepted my apology, and I was free. During the five years of jail, my education, social circles, all my goals left behind. I hope you will understand the circumstances when I have done that unethical action. Sthephen who started the entire critical situation with her lies and Anthony who suggested me and helped me stealing Sthephen belonging, they both are enjoying their life without any guilt. I was the one who suffered alone. Still, I am happy and looking forward to a positive life ahead.

With this positive spirit, I want to apologize to you respected judge and the state as well. In future, I will make sure to live my life in an ethical manner. I will make sure that no one will get hurt either physically and mentally because of me. I want to forget this harsh memory, and I have no negative feelings for Sthephen and Anthony. I want to follow my dreams now onward. Kindly accept my apology, and let me free mentally as well.

Sincerely,

Betemariam Bekele
