1. Bovée and Thill
Business Communication Hall of Fame
Apple’s Tim Cook apologizes and offers to help
2. After a customer uproar, Apple apologizes and offers to
help
Opens with an
acknowledgment
and a real apology
Offers some
explanation for the
product
Huge numbers here
are meaningless to
frustrated customers
Directs customers to
competitive
products, a classy
and respectful move
Ends on a positive
and respectful note
