I’m Sorry for Turning in My Assignment Late (And for the Excuse I Gave)

Dear [Teacher’s Name],

Subject Line: “I’m Sorry for Turning in My Assignment Late (And for the Excuse I Gave)”

I owe you an apology for my, um, “creative” excuse for turning in my assignment late. I understand now that claiming a “family of raccoons” ate my homework was a bit too much. It was both embarrassing and, as you probably guessed, not true.

I’ll be more honest with my excuses from now on and ensure that my future assignments are both on time and raccoon-free. Please accept my apology, and I promise to avoid any future “wildlife-related” mishaps.

Thank you for your understanding,
[Your Name]
