Take your time. Effort is the most important after a tiny bit of comprehensibility. Formal letters start off
TO-PERSONへ and end with FROM-PERSONより
Letters also frequently start with some reference to the current weather. I can look back at nearly all my quick catch-up emails with Japanese friends, and they almost all start out with some comment about the leaves changing, or it getting colder, or something like that.
Granted, many of these people are in their upper 20s or 30s, so they are a bit more adult than my college Japanese buddies, who'd probably start an email with "too bad you didn't go to that soapland with me" or whatever. :\
