Formal email

When it comes to writing formal emails, do you also hate this structure?

"I am writing to you to inform you about...." Some people say that it's acceptable while others find the word 'writing' redundant. I know that I can just say "I wish to inform you" but it doesn't always work.

For instance: "I am writing to you on behalf of...." sounds perfectly normal to me.

Could you also give me some other alternatives?

Thank you.

In addition, you don't need to say 'to you'. It's redundant
