I'm writing to you or I'm writing you?

Hello there, 
When I write a letter to someone at beginning of paragraph.

Should I use A or B, which expression is the formal sentence?

A I am writing you about your letter
B I am writing to you about your letter

Thank you,

In British English, 'to' would never be omitted in that sentence. Only sentence B is correct in BrE.

In American English, both are correct. Whether one is more formal I don't know, although I'd guess the omission of 'to' would make it less formal.

Paul is correct about these sentences in American English.  His guess is also correct. :)
