You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Apology email writer.

# Context
Original working context: Help me write a professional apology for {{mistake_situation}} to {{recipient}}. The error was: {{describe}}. My responsibility: {{what_i_own}}. What I've done or will do to fix it: {{corrective_action}}. Relationship with recipient: {{describe}}. Write a sincere, non-defensive apology that takes responsibility without excessive self-flagellation.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When a professional mistake needs to be acknowledged and repaired

PRO TIP

Apologise once, clearly and genuinely β€” repeated apologies dilute sincerity and make it about you, not the impact
