What is the Level 1 Informal Email series?
The informal email is a core Level 1 writing task across STANAG 6001, JFLT and SLP exams, alongside the informal letter and internal memo. Candidates write a short, natural sounding email to a colleague or friend, using an informal greeting, everyday vocabulary and a relaxed sign off. This hub gathers eight standalone practice tasks, each built around a realistic scenario from military, police and professional life.
Every task follows the same three step sequence: controlled word and phrase practice, sentence level practice, and then an independent exam style email scored by an AI examiner. Each task is a standalone activity, so you can complete them in any order in around 15 minutes per task.
How to write an informal email
New to informal email writing? Watch this guide before starting the activities. It will help you understand the tone, structure and everyday language needed for a clear, natural informal email.
Do I need to complete the eight tasks in order?
No. Each task is a standalone activity, so you can complete them in any order and repeat any step as often as you like.
How is an informal email different from an informal letter?
Both use a friendly, conversational tone, but an email skips the postal address block and often opens more directly. The examiner is still looking for natural everyday vocabulary and a clear, personal register in both.
How long does each task take?
Each of the eight tasks is designed for around 15 minutes, covering the full three step sequence from guided word practice through to your independent exam style email.
How is my email assessed?
After you write the independent exam style task, an AI examiner reviews your email and returns feedback so you can see what to adjust before your real exam.
Want structured practice beyond the email tasks?
The STANAG 6001 Level 1 Workbook covers reading, writing, listening and speaking in full, including further informal email, letter and memo practice.
