I need to apologize to {{person}} for {{incident}}. Write an effective apology with five elements: (1) name exactly what I did, with no conditional phrasing like 'if that upset you'; (2) state the concrete impact on them — confirmed consequences, not guessed feelings; (3) no explaining motives or blaming circumstances; (4) offer a remedy with a deadline; (5) state how I will prevent recurrence.
