Chatrooms, like texting, have different rules than Standard English. They are much more informal than spoken or written English in usage.

A: I have to g o o u t of the c h a t? (Is this expression correct?)
Ways this is written in a chat room are:
-I have to leave.
-I have to go.
-Gotta go.
-Talk to ya later.
-Gotta run.

It is usually understood that when you want to tell someone else in the chat room that you are leaving, the noun {chat} is understood and not typed.

B: Okay, Let`s w r i t e again tomorrow. (Is `write�okay in a
chatroom?)

More common would be:
Let's chat again tomorrow.
Let's do this again tomorrow.
I will see you here tomorrow.
