A simple letter will serve the purpose. Still it is advisable to make a formal gift deed as that will serve the purpose for both of you.

Your son is also a member of your HUF. In case of HUF every member is a relative of HUF. Gift of a reasonable amount can be given to the members still ambiguity of partial partition of HUF remains there. A better way is to provide share in the income of HUF to the Son. That is exempt U/s 10(2).
.
Third
----------
Six months.

26 August 2013 Yes you can make gift deed now also by citing the historical facts.
.
From Department of Registration & Stamp Duty, Govt of Maharashtra's web site-

As per the provisions of Section 52-B, the stamps which are purchased and not used within six months shall be rendered invalid thereafter. The stamps purchased and not used for intended purpose are entitled for refund after deduction of certain charges, if lodged for refund within six months from the date of purchase and on fulfilling the conditions stipulated in Chapter V of the Bombay Stamp Act, 1958.
