Etiquette - How to Apologize and Accept a Thank You at Work

Advice Seeker: Dear April,

I made a big mistake at work and kind of acted like a fool. I think everyone is pretty much getting over it, but I still really feel like I need to apologize for my behavior. I've been trying to write out an apology speech but am not sure how much is too much. Is a simpler apology better? I'm pretty emotional about this whole situation and really want my co-workers to know how sorry I am, but I don't want to go overboard. Do you have any advice on the best way I can apologize?

Sincerely,

Sorry Worker
