''For this, I am deeply regretful. I cannot begin to imagine how much I have hurt your sentiments. Racism has absolutely no place in my heart, and I promise you, for whatever it's worth, going forward this will never happen again.''
In her letter to Arsenal, the 33-year-old club ambassador realized she was wrong and promised to turn over a new leaf .
''I hope the club can accept my humblest apology and give me the opportunity to make amends. I promise to be very responsible from here on,'' she added.
