Answer:

Change "sooo" to "so" .

Change "cannot" to "can't" .

Change "Just give a holler" to "Please let me know".

Remove at least two of the three exclamation marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formal letters are those letters or communicative words written or used among professionals or corporate in formal settings. It employs a formal means of communication where there are restrictions about the use of several words. The use of slang or common words may be avoided, for formal letters are addressed to those people one is not familiar with or in a professional setting.

In the given letter, there are several corrections that have to be done for a formal letter. Jessica's use of "sooo", "cannot" have to be changed in their correct manner. Also, her use of the slang word "Just give a holler" has to be changed to a more formal way of saying "please let me know", and the excessive use of the exclamation mark in "excited" has to be reduced to just one mark.
