Because personal communications do not provide "recoverable data," the APA recommends not including them in your List of Sources Cited. Instead, you provide only a text citation, as for example (S. Jones, personal communication, Feburary 14, 1998).

MLA
Jones, Sarah. "Re: Interview." E-mail to the author. 14 Feb. 1998.
