I am writing or I wrote this letter?

Hi,

I came across the sentence below written in the present continuous tense instead of the past tense i.e. a single action happened the past.

1. I am writing you this letter because I want to tell you about the holiday that I have had with my family in Disneyland.

Does it sound a bit formal?

Would the sentence 'I wrote you this letter because...' sound better? Since the letter is meant for a friend?

Thanks

Hi Nancy;

We just got back from our holiday in Disneyland! I had to write you a quick note to tell you about it.
