I'm terribly sorry for what I said yesterday.
I'm sorry that I kept you waiting. I was caught in traffic.

I'd like to apologize for keeping you waiting for so long. I was late
leaving my office and then I got stuck in traffic. Can I make it up to
you by buying you a drink ?

I'm extremely sorry that I missed our appointment yesterday. It
completely slipped my mind. I assure you that it will never happen
again.

Bob, I want to apologize to you . It's about the book that you lent
me the other day. I took it home and set it down on the table, and
while I was out of the room, my dog chewed it to pieces. I'm really
sorry. I bought a new one for you, and I hope you'll accept it as a
replacement.

No big deal.
No problem.
That's / It's all right.
Don't worry about it.
Don't mention it.

No problem at all. I'm often late myself.
That's all right. I was enjoying watching the people go by.
It was nice of you to go to the trouble of replacing it.
