Remorse - check
Understanding why the mistake happened - check
Admission of guilt - check
Plan of action to prevent the mistake again - check
Promise to implement the aforementioned plan - check
This apology is complete.

Lol, fair enough then. I suppose it depends on the situation, if you said that in (my) school all the other kids would be a bit like, LOL WTF. But it would probably be best in a work environment. I still wouldn't say that though. (Then again we know that neither of us would actually do it.)
