I especially like:

  • “Please allow me to express my regret for the mistake” – it sounds professional yet heartfelt.
  • “I take full responsibility for the error” – this one shows true accountability, which is so important in both work and personal relationships.

One more phrase I’ve used that works well in formal emails is:
“I regret the oversight and will ensure it doesn’t happen again.”
It’s brief but effective and shows you’re taking action.

Appreciate the reminder that apologies should be both sincere and solution-oriented!
