• I recommend you write more formally.
  Acceptable. It's very formal, so it's probably better to write
  I recommend that you write more formally.

• I recommend you to write.
  No.
  I recommend you means 'I say that you are a good person'.

  The verb to use is advise
  I advise you to write more formally.

• _I wish you have a great weekend.
  I wish you to have a great weekend._

  No.
  The verb wish followed by a CLAUSE can only be used

  • with would — e.g. I wish you would go away.
  • with PAST SIMPLE — e.g. I wish it was the weekend.
  • with PAST PERFECT — e.g. I wish I had gone away last weekend.

  The verb to use is hope
  I hope you have a great weekend.

You can use wish for saying nice things to someone but only

• with well — e.g. I wish you well.
• with a NOUN PHRASE — e.g. I wish you success. I wish you a happy Christmas.

You can also use wish in a gentle command
I wish you to go away this weekend.
