The main difference between these two types of emails is that formal writing is

straight to the point, less detailed, and informative sentences are written in a
passive tone. Informal writing, on the other hand, uses descriptive words and
is written with an active voice.
Informal letter can include contractions(I’m, he’s), here we can start
sentences with linkers like and, but, so. In formal letter we have linkers line
nevertheless, moreover. And we use single words rather than phrasal words.

1а р 84 Style: The range of variation within the speech of an individual speaker.
People’s styles of speech [stylistic features] reflect NOT ONLY aspects of their
identity such as their, age, gender, and social background, but also indicate the
contexts in which language is being used.
Register: It is an occupational style with |ˈdʒɑːɡ(ə)n| that describes the language of
groups of people with common interests or jobs or the language used in situations
associated with such groups.
 Jargon: Specialised vocabulary specialists develop to talk about their specialty.
 Some linguists use the term register to refer to the style of speech from slang to
elevated variety. Others restrict it to specialised vocabulary.
 The difference: Style is analysed along a scale of formality. Register, when
distinguished from style, is associated with the language of a particular group of
people.
