Informal exclamation in a business letter (3)

I believe the answer is:
cor
Here is my best explanation:
'informal exclamation' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a business letter' is the wordplay.
'a business' becomes 'co'.
'letter' becomes 'r' ().
'co'+'r'='COR'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
