Hi I’ve been gifted some money by family member on the basics that my Iva gets written off. How do they go about writing a letter to say this thanks

I assume that you are talking about making a lump sum payment to close the IVA early (not write it off) ... a full and final offer, based on remaining payments.

The funds for this should go to the IP from the donors directly, and they should not give you cash to pay yourself. All you need do is write to your IP ( I actually did mine over the phone) telling them that you wish to make a full and final offer of £xxx and that the money is being provided by a third party for the sole purpose of a F&F. The IP will probably require evidence of the gift (letter from the donor) and the ID of the donor as well as proof that the money is available (donor's bank statement).
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

I pay £200 a month and have just paid my first year off =£2400 it’s over 6 years so total is £14400 - £2400 = £12000 I’ve been offered a gift from family member £10000 I’m hoping they will accept that. But I’m not sure

To save them messing about with small dividends over another 5 years I would think £10k would be looked at seriously.

You are due an annual review anyway, so they may need statements etc. to carry that out.

Yes they would - an annual review is conducted to ensure all monies received have been declared, as well reviewing your different lines of agreed expenditure to ensure it remains viable.
Any full and final offer will be done in addition to this

They will also need to see banking details of your relative - this is just for money laundering checks.

He can always blank those details out.
