You know I'm not a teacher, but I've taken the FCE (and the CAE and the CPE), so I think I know enough about those tests' requirements. The FCE writing task consists of two pieces of writing, one of which can be an informal letter or e-mail, and I guess the writer of that "piece of advice" was referring to this type of composition. If my experience (as a student and former candidate) is anything to go by, they'd better forget about wanna, gonna and the like, even in informal pieces of writing.
