When writing an informal email:

• Organise it into paragraphs.

• Use informal language and expressions (e.g. well, of course, anyway, you know, you see, actually, by the
way)
• Use standard grammar and spelling conventions. Don’t use forms like ‘wanna’, CU L8R etc.
• Use short forms (e.g. I’m, don’t, won’t etc.)
• Use exclamations (e.g. Guess what!) and direct questions (e.g. What have you been up to?)
• Use appropriate expressions/phrases to express enthusiasm, give news, express your opinion etc.,
depending on the topic of the email you are writing.
