The apology letter, in this particular situation, is for religious reasons. This is the time of year to ask for forgiveness from those we have wronged. According to Jewish law, we need to ask those people for forgiveness directly. We cannot ask G-d to forgive us for transgressions against others.
Maybell, I'm not sure I can have no expectations at this point. It does feel like something I need to do for myself, to clear my own conscience. But he has always taken this holiday quite seriously, and if I'm honest, I think I do have some expectation that he will be moved by this gesture.
