Essentially the difference would be that when you talk to your friend, you would use an informal register: you would for example directly say what you need "hey, pass me that thing" while when you write a letter to Unisa you would use polite language and formal register, for example you would say" I would be very happy to receive from you the following..." -even thought the two sentences express the same thing!
