HOW TO WRITE AN INFORMAL BUSINESS LETTER
Step1
Use writing that is breezy rather than casual. Be brief, straightforward and logical.
Step2
Employ standard grammar, spelling and formatting rules, but relax your tone and construction slightly.
Step3
Use contractions and conversational phrases to soften the letter.
Step4
Begin with the date, both your address and the recipient's (or just your address) and a salutation.
Step5
Choose "Dear" over "To Whom It May Concern."
Step6
Place a comma after the salutation ("Dear Jane,") instead of a colon.
Step7
Use personal statements to make the letter less formal: "I agree with your assessment of the highway construction project. I too commute that way."
Step8
Close with "Best," "Cheers" or "Regards," rather than "Sincerely" or "Thank You."
