HAVE QUESTIONS IN ARABIC AND FARSI
I know both arabic and farsi are not spoken as they are written in books and newspapers, etc.
However, do the native people also write letters to friends, etc. as the written language? or is it proper to write in the spoken forms when writing to friends, and relatives, etc?

Re:HAVE QUESTIONS IN ARABIC AND FARSI
I can't answer on behalf of others. For example, I simply write to my mother in formal (standard) Arabic, and sometmes I use slang where necessary to convey the meaning if I am out of words. But when it comes to my friends, pure standard Arabic is what I use.
Speaking for myself, I don't really dare to write (or coin if you like) a slang word and apply it in an edotiral without enclosing it in double quotes, since it might not be understood by a reader from Tunisia or Egypt.
It all depends on the person, education, community etc.

In Farsi
If you want to write a letter for oyur friend in Farsi,You can write just everything you say.We have also some authors in Iran who write in this style.
If you want to write a letter in formal form,you should not write every thing you say,It has it's own style.

Re:HAVE QUESTIONS IN ARABIC AND FARSI
Dear Bob,
In Persian, letters to friends and relatives are to be written in spoken language, otherwise it sounds strange and unfriendly.
Even famous writers, when trying to describe real life and tend to make a friendly, informal atmosphere for their readers, especially when quoting from the story characters, use slang.
Writing formal persian is only used in business, diplomacy, education, history, and other formal situations and not in friendly relations.
