The rules of letter writing generally depend on the occasion and recipient. For example, personal correspondence does not need to abide by strict formatting rules, whereas professional exchanges probably should.

A letter includes five parts: the heading, greeting, body, complimentary close and signature line. The heading consists of the address and the date, and the greeting or salutation addresses the recipient. The body is the main text of the letter. Finally, the complimentary close is the sign-off of the letter followed by the signature line.
A handwritten letter is sentimental and usually expresses a closer relationship with the recipient. That said, in the modern era, there is nothing wrong with sending digital letters. In fact, many occasions call for typed and even emailed letters. For example, a resignation letter is best typed and delivered digitally to the proper department. Therefore, handwritten and typed letters are both acceptable, depending on the situation.
