You do not joke around, use correct grammar and correct words, say Sincerely, ----- Send!
in a formal letter in the end. The British system clearly defines when to use Yours Sincerely. That is when you start the letter with the name of the recipient. If the letter is started Dear Sir, the letter is concluded by using the words Yours faithfully
The words you write will depend on the subject you are writing about. However to convey a formal tone you should avoid phrasal verbs.Phrasal verbs are words like pick up or put out or turn off. Instead of saying pick up you should use collect, instead of using put out you should say extinguish etc.Using single verbs instead of phrasal verbs will make your letter/email more formal
it is not unusual to say "in fact," in a formal lettter
Formal words are the words that are capitalized when used. Informal words are words that are not capitalized when used.

There really is no general rule as to what constitutes formal English. There really are many different types of English, depending on the setting (private letter, business letter, type of professional field, etc.). Generally, formal English means that you do not use any type of slang or colloquialism (no y'alls, 'sup, and whatnot), and you spell out words such as 'I am', instead of 'I'm', 'is not', instead of 'isn't, etc.In the case of a letter, formal English might also mean that you use formal wording when addressing the intended recipient ('Dear Sir/Madam', 'Sincerely').
One would use formal language in a business letter because it is a formal means of communication. When writing a business letter, one wants the tone to be professional. Formal language can help the writer to achieve this.
