Personal letters are often letters to family members, boyfriends or girlfriends, friends or pen friends -often friendly letters.
How quickly has he grown wings, like a bird, flown away!”
When writing a letter replying to such letters write your contact details at the top right corner of the letter, their address at the top left corner of the letter; add the date, and their letter’s reference.

Unless you know it’s all right, don’t e-mail, fax or post loved ones or friends personal letters at a workplace; it may embarrass, cause problems if others see your letter.

Semiformal letters are often routine letters to e.g., order or return goods, instruct on delivery, or to confirm or request information -acquaintances also sometimes write letters semi-formally.
As in personal letters, it shows that you are not greeting as the done thing -that you care.
