I want to add that you might notice that I didn't make it all about me or all how wonderful Ms. Wonka is. That letter had very short paragraphs that got right to the heart of the issue. Nothing about working on me, improving me, or blah blah blah. Cut out the white noise and focused on the main issue: making sincere amends.
I did not try to explain or defend my actions nor did I go into specifics. The bottom line and the plain truth is that I wounded Ms. Wonka deeply. Why do you want to pick at her scabs with specifics?!
