    The key takeaways are that informal letters should be friendly, chatty, and relaxed. They follow certain formatting conventions like including a salutation, signature, and addressing the recipient informally. Informal letters also have guidelines for paragraph structure and date formatting.

    The characteristics of an informal letter are that they are written to people you know casually like friends and family. They should have a friendly tone and use casual greetings and closings like 'Love' or 'Best'.

    An informal letter is typically organized into three paragraphs. The first paragraph introduces the letter and shares news or plans. The second describes activities or invites the recipient to an event. The third provides additional news or closes the letter.
