The body of the informal letter
The introduction should flow smoothly into the body, where you will talk about the main subject of your letter. “In your letter you ask(ed) me about.”, “It’s great that.” If you are going to be discussing more than one topic, you can say “To begin with, I need to tell you…” Keep the tone of your informal letter on the conversational level.

Dear Kate,
Thank you for your letter. Sorry, I haven’t written for so long. I was busy with my studies.
In your letter you ask me about my family. I have a mother, a father and a sister. We try to spend much time together. My mother is a doctor, she is very beautiful and kind. My father is a manager. He is intelligent.
It’s great that you are going to buy a pet! Was it your idea? Are you planning to have a dog? What about a name for your pet?
Sorry, I must finish. Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Sergey
