2. An Informal Email Greeting
When writing an informal email greeting, it is common to follow the greeting by asking how the recipient is. However, because informal emails are more casual, this is not a strict rule.

Examples:
1. Hey! How are you doing?
2. Hello Dan :)
3. Hi Laura,
4. Jenny!! What's up with you?
5. Hey everyone!!
6. Dear aunt Sophie,

3. Body Text

The body text of an informal email is usually the largest section of the message. Like one might expect, the point of an informal email's body text is to express to the recipient why you're writing to them.

Phrases you can use:  
I just wanted to let you know...
I'm writing because...
We haven't talked in forever, but I wanted to tell you about...

4. An Informal Email Ending

An informal email ending wraps up your email with a casual goodbye. Usually, an informal email ending consists of a parting message and a signature.

Examples:
Talk to you soon!
See you soon!
Can't wait to hear about .....!
Hope you're doing well!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

5. A Signature

signatures can be much less official in an informal email. Some possible signatures might include:
Love, [your name]
All the best, [your name]
Lots of love, [your name]
Yours, [your name]
Best wishes, [your name]

Never ever use Greetings !
