The conditions or ways to seek sincere Taubah or Repentance from the Merciful Lord are:
* One is aware that he has sinned, and feels sorry and ashamed at his sin.
* Makes a solemn covenant and promise with Allah that he will not repeat his sin again.
* Turns to Allah and seeks forgiveness, before he has met with his appointment of death.
* Is a believer and does righteous good deeds thereafter.
Whatever deeds one might have done in one’s past, if one turns to Allah Subhanah in sincere ‘Taubah’ and seeks forgiveness, Allah Subhanah has promised in the Holy Quran that He will forgive all the sins of such a repentant believer, even if one has committed the gravest sin of all: ‘Shirk’! Not only that, our Lord is so Merciful and Generous, that He not only will forgive the sins of such sincerely repentant believers, He will change their evil deeds done into good deeds!
*Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2338 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Allah accepts a servant's repentance (taubah) till he gives up his spirit in death."
