If any one here speaks could you please tell me the word “Forgiveness” in Hebrew, also what Hebrew letters to use.

That took 2 seconds on google:

סליחה [slixa]  
The most common word for forgiveness in our everyday life. Also functions as “sorry”, or “excuse me” (interjection) in Modern Hebrew.  
The verb סלח [salax- “forgive”; “pardon”] is derived from this word.

מחילה [mexila]  
A bit more flowery but also pretty common.  
The verb מחל [maxal- “forgive”; “pardon”; and also “relinquish one’s honor”] is derived from this word.

כפרה [kapara]  
Better translated as “atonement”; “absolution”. This word is a bit more archaic and “powerful”, if you insist…  
The verb כיפר [kiper- “forgive”; “grant atonement”] is derived from this word.  
Yom Kippur (“Day of Atonement”) is considered the most sacred day in Judaism.
