What's the way to make a 'formal' apology?

I've landed myself in a tough situation and need to make a grave(?) apology.

Are there components that I should include, like admission of fault, possible explanations, and some proper begging?

blah.

Thanks, the apology will be to a teacher if that will help.

It depends on why you are apologizing. There is no simple overall formula you can follow.

well I certainly don't think a formal apology includes begging
unless maybe if you've been taken to see the emperor

lol @ travis. .

But really, as minus_human said, just be sincere. This is probably the most important thing that should come across to the person you're apologizing to.

Haha what did you do.

I remember when I made my teacher throw a chair at me back in middle school from which she got fired.

So I dunno, anything less severe should be pretty easy to handle.

Doesn't sound like you're actually intending to make a sincere apology when you have to ask for a formula to follow.

amateurs.

We really need to know who you are apologizing to.
as in what is the overall theme, and if it's someone you are intimate with, a judge, boss, colleague, or friend.

Dear Teacher,

I am writing this letter to address the issue which arose last week during class. I would like to formally and officially apologize for any and all feelings and emotions that may have been running through your mind during this event.

While I do have feelings for you and it is apparent you share the same, I think it is best if we take it slow. I didn't expect you to show such a great interest in me but I am still interested. I will see you after class.

Love, Pookums

P.S. The kiss in the hallway is something I'd like to repeat.

When you apologize, do not do so in such a manner where your demeanor demands the other person to offer forgiveness. If you just blatantly apologize, with a hint of self-frustration and leave the scene/topic looking content, the other person may be more likely to forgive you on their own. Do not, under any circumstances, ask the other person for forgiveness within your apology.

EDIT: 1600 posts. It's official: I'm not that cool.

PS If you're not really sorry for what you did, like you're only apologizing for damage control purposes or are being solely fueled by guilt (guilt=/=sincere sorrow), it's pretty easy for someone to tell your apology is shit, no matter what formula you use. So, if you're not sorry, don't bother.
