Answer:
Semi-formal
Explanation:
The excerpt has both elements of informal and formal tones: It is somewhat informal because is not impersonal, meaning that it uses the first-person pronoun "I" and it uses contractions like "I'd like to.." However, it cannot be classified as an informal text as a whole because it contains formal characteristics, for example, it is totally free of idioms, colloquialism and slangs, and instead, it uses descriptive, precise and elegant words like "I give a word of thanks to...," "The first among them is.." and "I'd like to give my appreciation to Joanie Stephens who edited with a fine-tooth comb." And this balance between formal and informal makes the writing semi-formal.
