Default Re: Use of abbreviatures in informal letter [Please reply quickly]

In a real letter, it would be fine, but I wouldn't do too much of it in FCE. If you look at sample letters, they use contractions, but generally don't use gonna/wanna, etc. My advice would be not to make it too informal for the purposes of the exam.
