This looks like some kind of how-to guide. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:48, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- Delete unless totally rewritten and referenced. The topic of letter format/style could be the subject of a valid encyclopedic article (as long as it steered clear of overtly how-to content), letter writing is the subject of a lot of academic attention these days[https://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/pbns.95/main][http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/654][http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1354][https://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/swll.9/main], and Letter (message) could badly do with expansion. But this article is very far from an encyclopedic article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- comment We have a business letter article which I would assume represents American practice and which very much as a how-to character. Mangoe (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

- Note that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Informal_letter&diff=589620689&oldid=589592065 this edit] removed the AfD message, after which [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Informal_letter&diff=next&oldid=589620689 this edit] redirected the page to Letter (message). Redirect to that article seems appropriate to me. Cnilep (talk) 03:26, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
The article does not resemble most other Wikipedia articles in its formatting. Should be deleted unless written as an encyclopedic entry with reputable sources cited.Carpalclip3 (talk) 20:16, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
