To determine which word the writer should change to maintain the formal tone of the email, we need to understand the meaning and formality level of each option in the given paragraph.

1. "Awesome" - This word has a more informal tone and is typically used in casual conversations or informal writing. To maintain a formal tone, the writer should avoid using this word.

2. "Friendly" - This word is appropriate and does not require any changes to maintain the formal tone.

3. "Attention" - While the word "attention" is not inherently informal, it is used in a slightly less formal manner in this context. To maintain a formal tone, the writer may consider using a more formal phrase, such as "Thank you for your time and consideration."

4. "Sincerely" - This word is the closing salutation of the email and is commonly used in formal correspondence. It does not require any changes to maintain the formal tone.

Based on the analysis above, the writer should change the word "awesome" to maintain the formal tone of the email.
