an apology?

In Duangchay’s letter of apology to me, he wrote:

This is Duangchay Zhao, the student that inappropriately went into your English 502i classroom in sc 289 [1] on Nov 5, 2001. I really feel sorry about what I did, and here I am writing this letter to make a formal apologize to you about my behavior.

I sincerely hope my words below could make you feel better. That day, I worked till 6:00am on my chm599a project (exam 2, actually), and to make sure I got some time to check over if I got everything done correctly, I was extremely eager to get my work printed out. Since for that project we were using a Unix based program GCG package, the printer in sc 289 was the only printer available to us student (as far as I know). That’s why I went to sc 289 simply to get my work done, otherwise I could have done that any other open…labs…I thought the class might be an informal class like or a lab like the cs181 this semester that I am having this semester. In my cs181 lab session, there were a lot of other students coming into my classroom when the class was going on and the instructor usually would not say anything to them. Therefore, I got the wrong feeling of going into sc289 in that situation would be appropriate. When you said something when I was leaving, I really did not know you were talking to other people (I know this only this morning when I talked to [student affairs specialist]. I sincerely have no intention to make you feel upset a single bit. Then I went to another lab and sent those printing jobs to the printer in sc289.

He concludes by apologizing again, signing his name, identifying himself as a member of the Biological Sciences department, and ccing the student affairs specialist who required him to write the letter.
