Désolée = sorry, in French.

  As said by a woman. Males would say "Désolé".

    I believe it is used to describe a woman rather than being always said by a woman. Could describe the girl he has been talking about throughout the documents.

      "désolée" also means..."desolated" or "forlorn" when refering to a place instead of a person.

        It's french for sorry, desolated would be more related to 'désolation'

          Well, being French and all, I beg to differ: "une lande désolée" can be translated as "a desolated moor". But it's a bit quaint, and yes, désolée usually means sorry (feminine form).

  When I use it (i'm french as a second language), I would usually use it to mean something closer to "sorry about that" or "Sorry, but ...". For example, "Sorry, but the road is closed.". I would not use it in the context "I'm sorry for what I did.". So, it's not a direct translation.
