I've thought a lot about what happened, and I owe you an apology. You matter too much to me to let this sit between us.
I'm sorry for my part in what happened. You matter to me, and I'm listening.
I'm sorry. They say the first step is admitting it, so: I was wrong. You may want to frame this card.
This card is an apology, an olive branch and a promise of cake, in that order. I'm sorry.
Sorry for being an idiot. In my defence, I've had a lot of practice.
Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience I caused.

I know things are hard right now. You don't have to go through it alone; I'm here whenever you want to talk.
You've been on my mind. I hope today is gentle with you.
Thinking of you! Also thinking about cake, but mainly you.
This card is a hug in disguise. Please accept it in the spirit in which it was squeezed.
Sending good thoughts, warm-socks energy and a reminder that you're doing better than you think.
Please know that you are in our thoughts.
With kind thoughts and best wishes to you.

No messages match.
Choose an occasion, then narrow it down by tone: warm for close friends and family, funny for people who share your sense of humour, formal for colleagues, clients and people you know less well, and short when the card has little room or you plan to add a line of your own. Search looks through every message, so try a word such as "team", "proud" or "cake".
Copy puts the message on your clipboard. Open Add names and a sign-off to have "Dear Sam," and your sign-off and name added around it. Those names stay in your browser's local storage on this device only.
A borrowed sentence works best as a starting point. Add one specific detail: a shared memory, the name of the new baby, the thing you will miss about a colleague. For sympathy cards, simple and sincere is kinder than clever, which is why there are no jokes in that section; naming the person who died and offering one concrete kind of help (a meal, a lift, a walk) means a great deal. If you need a thank-you note rather than a one-liner, the thank-you note builder writes a full note from a few details.
Once your words are ready, these help you get them onto paper and into the post.
