Letter of Apology

Nov. 17, 1950

The Whole Town
5450 Pleasant Street

Dear Citizens of the town,
I, Adela Strangeworth, apologize for the horrible letters that you have received from me. I have been thinking about my behaviours lately and realized that my horrible letters have caused a terrible affect in your relationships with your families. Therefore I am truly sorry and ask for forgiveness.
I shouldn’t have been writing those letters, I know I was wrong. Deep in my heart, I never intended to write those letters; otherwise I would say the awful things to you in person. I thought I was doing the right thing, helping people by letting them see what I thought the people they love was doing something bad.  In my mind I thought that I ought to let them know what was going on with the people that you care about. I never knew that it would cause pain to some people. I am deeply sorry and I would learn from my mistakes.
I know that I made this mistake myself and I would like to take full responsibility for it. I would never do such thing again and I would like a second chance to prove that I am sincerely repent and I will earnestly reform myself.
Sincerely,
Adela Strangeworth

  1. Fantastic letter!
    I could really sense that "Ms. Strangeworth" was sorry for what she did.
    An excellent piece!
