QUESTION FOR THE WEEK OF
03/30/03 - 04/05/03

Dear Mark, I got caught doing something bad at school. Now I have to write an apology letter, but I dont know what to write, can you help? AND THE ANSWER IS... Writing an apology is easy, because all teachers like the same thing. As long as you follow this format they’ll think you’re an angel. Here’s an example: Dear "Mr./Mrs. So-and-so", As you already know, I was doing "such-and-such". I never should have thought of doing "such-and-such" in the first place, and I admit that I was wrong. I hope you will forgive me for doing "such-and-such" because I am really sorry. I will try never to do "such-and-such" again. From, Your name here (Well that one always worked for me, I even used it on the same teacher four times!) Remember the longer the letter is, the less punishment you will get. To spice it up for your high school teachers, add some long words and neat handwriting. - Mark
