Sample Apology Note to a Person for Hurtful Social Media Post

Out of anger or sheer annoyance towards someone, people tend to behave badly either by shouting at them or by starting an unnecessary fight with them. It is better to keep these conflicts private and not attract too much public attention to avoid any embarrassment and regret in the future.

Sometimes, people take it a little too far by posting photos and writings against someone in their personal social media accounts viz. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Some of them regret their actions at a later point of time. Hence, they seek apology from the other person against whom they had published posts.

Here are examples of such apology letters and emails for the social media posts against someone.

Dear ________,

I deeply regret writing a rude post about you in my Facebook account yesterday. I have taken it off. However, I understand some people must have read it already. I sincerely apologize for posting it. I know it was hurtful to you. It was very irresponsible on my part to do so.

I never should have said such a horrible thing publicly. I am ashamed of myself for doing such an inexcusable thing. Please let me know if you want me to publicly apologize to you for this.

I hope you can be gracious enough to forgive me for my actions. I would very much like to make it up to you. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you in the future. I shall be more than glad to do so.

Once again, I am sorry.

Kind Regards,
