[Date]
Dear {Boss’ Name},
I am writing to sincerely apologize for my bad behavior during the staff meeting yesterday. I deeply regret my actions and the bad image that I portrayed to my colleagues and the entire management team.
I am really embarrassed by this action as the head of department and I know that I failed to show a good example to my juniors by shouting at you. I know that this is unaccepted by both management and my colleagues. I acted out of work pressure that had caused me too much stress.
I promise to compose myself next time if a situation like this arises. I will be slow to act as well as to speak when I have work pressure. Please accept my apologies and forgive me for acting unprofessional during the meeting.
I look forward to work with you and discuss on the agenda about team building activities in a professional way soon. Please let me know your take on this.
Yours sincerely
