Writing an informal mail: Writing an informal mail allows breaking formal writing rules but there are universal mail rules that you must follow. These are called netiquette.
Netiquette (Online etiquette) is a neologism formed from "network + etiquette". It involves the conventions of politeness and respect recognized in mailing lists, in live chat systems and on other electronic forums. These conventions address the relationship between netizens, and outline a dynamic set of guidelines for conduct that is conducive to pleasant, efficient and agreeable interaction.

No, I didn’t. I have never heard about it, but instead of this, I usually include a subject line, avoid sarcasm, use appropriate emoticons, etc. I’m going to adopt immediately some of the rules which I didn’t know, such as use appropriate intensifiers to help convey meaning. If I receive an email breaking this rules, I will read it because a lot of people don’t know that rules.
