The correction apology email:
The attached has a description of the upcoming trainings with a new narrative of Mr. xxxx xxxxx LGBT presentation.
This email is a formal apology for my mistake, my blunder really, in the previous description of the presentation.
It shows how much I need to be trained, someone told me today. I agree.
Again, my sincere apologies for my botch of words in how the original description went out and my gratitude for those who came forward and alerted our team of my mistake. Particular thanks to Mr. xxxx for his extreme courtesy towards me. I intend to live up to it.
Shows we still have a lot of work to do.
