Formal cover letter.

Reason: a formal cover letter uses a professional structure, tone, and language that’s appropriate for most employers and hiring managers. (An “e‑mail cover letter” is a delivery method and can be formal or informal; a “private” or “personal” letter just means directed to an individual; an “informal” cover letter uses casual tone and is less professional.)

Tip: match the company culture — if the employer is very casual, a slightly more relaxed tone can be fine — but when in doubt, use a formal, well‑structured cover letter.
