Informal Email
An informal email is usually between people
who know each other fairly well. In addition to giving news, they are often
used to request information, congratulate people, give advice and ask
questions. There are a lot of similarities between informal letters and
conversation. Informal letters ask a lot of questions, show interest and
enthusiasm, and imagine a lot of shared information.
EMAIL WRITING
Emails can be formal or informal. An informal
email is an informal piece of writing. Its style can be similar to speaking, so
it's up to us how we begin and finish it, and whether we use paragraphs or not.

Standard expressions to start and finish the
letter.
