However, people who have made mistakes tend to condemn themselves too severely or describe the error too vividly, which may reinforce irritation of the other side. That reinforcement would work against the purpose of apology. The writer should apologize directly and use general terms to avoid reinforcing the unpleasantness of the mistakes. Empathy is the key to an appropriate apology. People who have the right attitude have the best chance of finding the right words.
Sincerely yours,

Dear David:
Please excuse me for not having answered your letter dated 7, December sooner.
When your letter arrived, I was just in Hong Kong. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up.
I owe you an apology.
